To set the record straight, Superformance is completely and separately owned, operated and managed in the US while Hi-Tech Automotive group is completely and separately owned and operated and managed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The two are not even remotely one in the same, however they do of course share a mutual business relationship in the fact that Hi-Tech is the sole manufacturing source for Superformance.
The confusion may come from the past prior to 2005 when Hi-Tech and Superformance were one in the same. However, Hi-Tech owner Mr. James Price wanted to focus more on the manufacture of the cars, not in the marketing of them. Mr. Lance Stander who already had a Superformance dealership in California purchased the Superformance Brand and all licensing and marketing operations that went with it in 2005. Hi-Tech remained the supplier so while the product was unchanged, the separation of ownership has.

Hope that helps straighten out some of the confusion.
