I've owned two Superformances and definitely would recommend them for several reasons. The dealer support before, during and after the sale is second to none. Bang for the buck, quality, fit and finish, again right at the top of the list. If you want a car to drive in the shortest period verses building your own car, it'll surpass your expectations. The bottom line is whether you like the car, if it fits well and what you're willing to invest in your pleasure. All the rest is mere frosting on the cake!

Dont spend your money on a Superperformance

There Kinda like a Factory Five

A dime a dozen

If your going to spend that kind of money step up a little more and get a Kirkham or a continuation CSX
Or buy a turn key Unique... Buy American

So which one did you like? That is what matters. If you like the SPF you would be hard pressed to find someone that would have anything bad to say about SPF as a total turn-key minus package.

Superformance is a great product. There are a number of them in AZ. All their owners heap praise on the car and the dealers...

Cobra Jones,
I came to the show with ERA on the brain but they didn't seem to be to interested in selling anything. They (ERA) came late and left early. I liked the way they looked, but superformance had a display that you could walk under the car and see the workmanship of there roller. The welds were perfect and the wiring was secured. The body was finished in all the right places and there were a lot of little finishing touches. The price include wheels and tires plus a one year warranty. There were no used parts on the car and your local Ford dealer can order parts & service the Vehicle. I say I am solded on there way of doing business.

Nanny,

I have also owned two SPFs. Both wonderful cars. They just keep making the cars better and better. I give the car, the dealership network, and the owners (past and present) high marks. You will not go wrong.

Now, about

"Dont spend your money on a Superperformance
There Kinda like a Factory Five
A dime a dozen"

How many Superformance cars have you owned? < key word here, "O*W*N*E*D"

Just like the FFR's, SPF's are NOT a dime a dozen. I was just at the SSR-II in Ross Ohio a couple of weeks ago. I saw 40 plus "different" SPF's. Each one finished as the owner perfered.

If you want to say a dime a dozen, then every style of body (Corvette, Mustang, Viper etc.....) is a dime a dozen. No reason to buy a car at all then.

At the DVSF-III, there will be over 200 Cobras, each finished differently.

Hi there!

For what it is worth, I love my Superformance. Beautifully finished and drivable from day one. Great support and info network with a known high level of quality.

Realistially if I drive it and take car of it, I can probably get my money out of it should I decide to jump up to a Kirkham. Great cars but getting into the $80-100K+ range for an occasional use toy is out of my "small wallet league" (or I would have to sell something else to do it........naww....Can't do that!!)

My SPF has been terriffic and so far has delivered more giggles per mile than should be allowed. That to me is what you buy them for!

Its your wallett, buy what you like and enjoy it!

I'd buy another SPF, very pleased with the one I have--in fact I'm so impressed with the manufacturer's product I'm hoping to sell my 427SC and buy a Daytona coupe from them

I have an SPF and have just had it on the road for a couple of months. I had owned a small block Cobra that was built by a very small builder for five years. It was a very nice car but I wanted to go to a little nicer car and a big block. My choices were narrowed to ERA and SPF pretty quickly since I knew the manufacturers already. I went with SPF but it was a close decision. I like SPF looks just a little bit better and I thought I could get in the SPF faster which turned out not to be the case. I did the work on my car and I am very impressed by how well the car is put together. The dealer was a tremendous help in this effort. When I had a question or needed to know how to do something, I would call him and he would talk me through. He made putting the car together a lot of fun. The quality of the car is obvious from any angle. The welds are perfect as you say and the fuel and brake lines are routed well and each bend is right on the money. I spent a lot of time under that car and I was impressed each time. The car is also a hoot to drive. I don't have much seat time due to the lousy weather this spring but what little driving I've been able to do has been a lot of fun.

I can strongly recommend Superformance.

All appologies.

I would also like to heap praises on SPF. I love my car and would encourage any of my friends or family to buy one if they were in the market. I second all of the other comments on quality and fit/finish.

there are many fine replicas out there, one for everybody, i guess.

I have found my SPF to be bullet-proof in reliability, fun, fast, and looks and runs even better than the day i drove it home over three years ago.

They are not fragile cars.

Well if you live in Massachusetts, I suggest before you drop a bunch of cake, you check into the registration and inspection issues with any of these cars. It is getting to the point that if you don't know someone, you will have a nice planter for your front lawn, since you won't be able to get an inspection sticker. Aren't all SPF cars carbureted? You will have a real blast trying to get a carbureted car to pass emission requirements for a 2003 model year.
