my spf is an earlier car, built in 1996 . it has 3-1/2 " clearance at lowest point, under the bellousing . In 15,000 miles it has never hit on anything , or scraped . granted , some high speed bumps have to be taken at an angle at slow speeds but that is a rare event . many other cars have similar clearance distances, it is not that big of a deal . just look ahead .

the suspension has some adjustments to it. i could raise mine 1 or 1-1/2 inches if i wanted to , but like the lower level look in the wheel wells so why bother .

there are many spf owners who are on their 2nd or 3rd spf, one with over 100,000 miles ( Hal Copple's ) . If i was to buy another Cobra replica it would be another SPF .

Fit and finish on my car remains very good despite its age . The fit and finish on many brands are also good,but I have had good , correction- great, enjoyment of my car, the dealers and their parts and service support - when rarely needed .

Shop around - check all the brands out - price compare for what you want your car to be for you and your usage intentions . Then bite the bullit and just ENJOY it . Bill.
