This seems to be the trends I've been hearing (some not mentioned in this thread, some from personal experience):
Superformance - Great roller, but may be too expensive.  It seems like few can get these built for under my $100k limit.
ERA - also an excellent kit, but also too expensive (> $100k)
Tornado - A well liked space frame kit, been around for years, good customer service, and fits right in budget.
RCR - Aluminium monocoque, excellent reputation. I believe they are a new company, and their first gt40 rolled out on 3/3/07 -- so not sure about customer service / support / etc. Looks like this fits right in budget too. However, I have as of yet been unable to find any interior pictures, or learn about A/C.
Any comments on these? Tornado and RCR, based on budget, seem to be the front-runners.
Thanks,

Made in America goes a long way for me. Fran has an excellent reputation as well as customer service. His cars are equipped with A/C if you desire. There are numerous interior shots on the forum as well. Several forum members have already tracked their cars and shared their experiences and insights. All positive from what I recall. I do not have an RCR but intend on purchasing one when my coffers are restocked, unless Fran wants me to start a college fund for his kids now and I pay weakly.
So they go to trade school. There is nothing wrong with that.
I would consider the quality and completeness of the kit you can afford, location of the manufacturer as well as suggest you also consider the exchange rate, shipping, availability and time to receive parts in the future if needed (down time of car) to see a real apples to apples comparison of any car you are considering. Then make your own decsion to fit your parameters and budget. Good luck.
