Actually, Backdraft is clearly superior to Superformance. No question about it.  |

So, explain to me and, a few thousand other SPF owners why you think a Backdraft replica is better than an SPF. My car is as tight as the day I bought it 6 years ago and 20k miles later. Parts just seem to stay put and last. |

If you read through the thread it appears he is joking, but I could me mistaken.
For the OP, go look at both cars and decide if the extra $$$ for the SPF is worth it.  |

What?!? You expect people to actually read and think??? C'mon. Had the SPF owner who attacked my dual roll bars been a BDR owner, I would have flipped and supported SPF as being the superior ride. |

BDP instead of BDR was a typo. Superformance was my bad. Actually I only started to look at the various Cobras about a week ago. I was really disappointed this morning to learn that a SPF listed on CC was already sold. It had just about everything I want. The good ones don't last for long. So....there seems to be a lot of views on what make is best. I think the all aluminum Kirkhams are best, but the prices are excessive. I tried to do a "search" to see other opinions but it didn't turn up any results. ??
Are the BDR's really made here now? I don't know how they would able to compete with the cheap labor in South Africa and still have a price advantage?

Honestly, I don't know. I made the Newark part up -- I tend to spout a lot of crap on these types of threads.  |

BDRs are not made in the US. Welcome to the wacky world of CC.  
Make sure you're also monitoring Cobra Country for cars as well.

Yes, but Kirkham's are Cobras. With a BDR or SPF, you would have a replica.   |
