Well, the CAV probably feels more production, but keep in mind that I have spent a great deal of time to get it that way, with a lot of sound deadener ect. I have not doubt the SPF could be made the same way. The SPF is more race car like, but I would hop in and drive it to Daytona without a second thought, and once there it will perform fantastic on the track without skipping a beat. All these cars fit certain body types better than others and being 6-2 is no problem for many SPF drivers. Getting in and out is the challenge for both of them. I have found the fit and finish comparable in both with the SPF of course using original type hardware. The SPF is a much more complicated design just like the original; the CAVs stainless MONO is nice. I will be honest with you, I will be selling one of them in the next week or two and I am having trouble deciding which one to sell. I think of them this way; the SPF is more like a CSX cobra, a very accurate duplicate of an original with heritage. The CAV more like an ERA, a great rendition of an original with liberties taken in the design. Both are nice cars.
