Thanks a lot for all of the responses! It makes complete sense to meet with owners and get a better feel for the differences. I've driven 2 different cobras, both with small blocks. I'd be happy to meet up with you guys this weekend (sans cobra, of course). I was planning on going out to St. Charles Motorsport (the shop that D&M recomends to install the drivetrain) to talk to Alex about all of this same stuff. I'm not sure if going from St. Charles to where ever you guys are going to be is practical.?? Where and when are you guys doing your drive? If it's feasable I'd hook up with you guys.

Also, part of the reason that I was leaning toward the SPF is just time and practicallity....basically, i can have one ready to roll in a week or so, instead of several months of waiting to be built.

I do not have my heart set on the SPF it just seems easier and faster (to get, not a faster car), since there are cars at D&M right now.
