Just a question that may sound crazy. I have only been in one Superformance Coupe and on that one the side pipes were just for looks as the exhaust exited under the car and out the back. Is this the normal way they are built or did the owner modify it that way? I know he said he liked it because his wife didn't get any burns. On my Factory 5, the pipes are set back enough that it is hard to burn yourself on them but it could be done.
And for my above post about the work I am having done, Tony and I have know each other for some time and I would have bought his Unique 427 side oiler when he sold it except that was why I had to sell my roadster. The heat here is just to much for me to drive around in an open car any more and enjoy it. When Tony sold me the Coupe it was because he didn't have room for it and his CSX and GT-40, and he asked me then if I ever decided to sell it if I would give him first chance. I told him I would and if I decide to sell it he will get first shot at it. As far as comparisons, I haven't been in enough Superformance Coupes to really say much, but the one I was in and the ones that I have seen look like very nice cars to me. I love the Factory 5 and all of the work that Tony had did to it and he has kept in touch with me trying to jog the engine builder to get it finished. So as for one being better than the other, I really don't know. I guess it is like most of these cars and comes down to what the owner actually likes. I like the fact mine has all the stuff to make it track legal and it is well built.
