Rob,
Admittedly, I don't know all of the circumstances behind your sale, and I do not want to get in on any "bashing" of your personality here. But, what is the purpose of trying to make digs on the Superformance name by even starting this thread in the first place?
As Woodsy pointed out, you are in essence a middle man in your particular car-sale transaction, and thus, the warranty is apparently not extendable to the next owner.... PERIOD! But, on the same token, so what?
I am the second owner of an OLD Superformance generation, but even if I bought it when the car was a year old or less, I wouldn't expect a warranty to follow me as a matter of "law".. Also, as so many others have mentioned here, having a relationship with the dealer, whether Dynamic or whoever, would probably suffice to get any "realistic WARRANTY" work done on the car you just sold anyway...
So, I put it back on you, what is your purpose in this thread?
I also saw your posting regarding the power output of a Keith Craft stroker engine package the other day... I am trying to figure your intent with that one to? Engine builders, even as good as Keith Craft is, can never guarantee EXACT results on every build... You know that right?
Car builders of the "hand made" variety like ALL Cobra replica manufacturers, cannot guarantee the same results twice either. You know that right?
How many Stradivarius Violins or Steinway pianos are "exactly" the same/sound the same?
Look at the ORIGINAL Cobras, those were all over the board in terms of quality/likeness to each other...
Rob, repectfully here, you may not be the kind of guy that would be happy with ANY Cobra replica... They all require some tweaking/wrenching/attention done by THE OWNER that a Ferrari/Porche/Z-06 Corvette owner can have "taken care of" at the local dealership... Warranty period or not...
I actually think that you and I are a LOT alike Rob... I think we BOTH like "perfection".. The difference is that I am willing to accept that "perfection" in my eyes may be unobtainable from anybody else but ME. So, I go about finding something CLOSE to my level of "perfection" and I tailor it MYSELF to my personal level of expectation if need be....
IF your own issue was with a particular SPF dealer, then again, what is the purpose of this thread besides to try and disparage the Superformance name because said "dealer" couldn't meet your level of expectation, even AFTER you had already agreed (by buying the car) to a certain level of "expectation" in the first place?
No offense intended here.. I just think you may be happier with something other than a Cobra replica, UNLESS you want to build it ALL YOURSELF!
