I could buy a roller but by the time it was done it would be 84k .I found a backdraft for 50k but I have been told they have windsheild motor mount and rearend problems .I was told they are great cars but they were only made for 300hp. Not sure what to do maybe just forget the whole thing! Please help  |
The worst thing you can do is be impulsive and buy the wrong car. After owning my car for 3 years now my advice would be to stay patient and wait for the color combo and drivetrain setup you can live with. I absolutely love my superformance and believe it is a great replica. Please keep in mind that mileage doesn’t mean too much regarding these cars.... you are likely to find a car with 1000 miles that is in worst shape than a car with 10k miles that has been properly sorted. I purchased my car with roughly 11k miles and after a year decided to tear it down and build it like I wanted it. My car was commissioned in 2004 and now has 15k miles. I don’t have any experience with BDR cars but from the research I did at the time and the owners I spoke with I decided to go with SPF. Hang in there and you will come across the right car.
