If a replica is what you are looking for...I'd say these guys make the best one...

www.intermeccanica.com

PS. Don't expect the Porsche Gods to protect you though!

If avoiding flames is part of the goal you may wish to ask the question here: www.speedsterowners.com/ rather than on a Porsche forum. These guys actually like those things

For an open car the Beck 550 is THE replica to get - even Porsche die hards like that one.

I'm falling into lust for Chuck Becks new 904 replica myself....

get an expert in replicas to inspect the car before you buy it, if you aren't fully versed in the niche.
