Evan,
I forgot to respond to your $70K Superformance remark.
For $36,900.00 you get:
Rolling chassis (factory assembled, quality controlled)
Show quality paint job (PPG Global paint finish)
Real knock off wheels
Headers
Side pipes
8.8 full independent rear suspension
Full independent front suspension
Bilstein shocks
H&R springs
Fully electrically wired in the factory
Fully hydraulically assembled at the factory (S.S. lines too!)
Wilwood four piston caliper brakes
Soft Top
Tonneau cover
Side curtains
Wind wings
Heater
Carpeted
Moto-Lita wood steering wheel
Smith gages
Polished stainless steel roll bar
Tires
The fit and finish of these cars is in line with any of the best exotics in the world!
So all you need is a motor and tranny! I have met SPF owners that did the installation themselves, and have less than $45K in their cars!
The only way I think you can get to $70K is to put one of SAI's aluminum 427 motors in a SPF! By why give up the horsepower for more money?
Ur Buddy
