My son is 3 inches taller than me and he likes the SPF better. With the steering wheel off ingress is easy in the SPF but not needed in the CAV. The SPF is of course the most accurate of the replicas and is a registered GT40 legally (no need to start the obvious argument on the real ,not real situation). They are remarkably accurate in detail and I really like that aspect. The CAV will cost 10K or so less in most circumstances when all is said and done but I do not think the 65K figure for a roller includes options. AC is a must by the way. You will love a CAV, that I am sure. chuck feel free to call me for specifics.. 864-630-0467

Interesting comparison. I have seen many CAVs and a few SPFs and I always thought the CAVs were much more authentic.
