You guys are hilarious!
Well I bought a SPF today with a Roush/Yates Nascar Cup engine in it. I did this for a few reasons.
1.After speaking with the guys who built the engine at Roush/Yates I realized how cool and unique the engine is. It was custom built for the owner of a company that supplies pistons for their race program. You cant just call them and order this engine. They were super excited about it and said it would be fun, fast and reliable.
2. My friend owns and races one of the GT40s in the American Le Mans Series and swears by the Roush/Yates guys. He said his race engine was very reliable.
3. I spoke with Dennis Olthoff who knows the car and he said it was a good car.
4. I wanted a really fast car that can scare me and my friends.
5. Bragging rights (its fun telling people it has a Nascar engine in it).
6. No one I spoke with had anything bad to say about SPF.
7. It sounds mean and nasty.
8. If I'm going to be irresponsible and buy a totally impractical car, I might as well go all the way.
I hope it is fun and reliable. Only time will tell. I know it is a total crap shoot.
That being said, I really liked the BD cars (especially the "Heritage Edition" that jay built) and the ERAs as well.
