The fellow Jay who posted above and is the owner of VMS is knowledgeable as anyone in the business. They build some serious cars there. My advice to you on finding the right car would be this. It took me over two years to decide which one I wanted. I originally wanted to build a factory five but dismissed that because I have already been there and done that with a 66 Corvette. I researched and read a lot. I visited a couple of Backdraft dealers to look at the cars went for a ride and drove one. I went to a couple car shows to see is Superformance cars along with some of the continuation cars. Go look at Vanguard Motors webpage as they always have them on there for sale with excellent videos. I narrowed it down to Backdraft and Superformance. If you were looking for a complete originality then you need to go with one of the continuation models but that is going to cost you . Superformance is probably a little better built car but it's also more expensive and I couldn't justify the expense for what I was going to get. I got a heavily optioned used car for an outstanding price. As far as the differential goes, you get in the car what you want to use it for. Mine works just fine with my 550 horsepower Roush engine. The car has BMW suspension so that speaks for itself. Also, Your mechanical ability will also play a big part. Also, when you purchase one of these replicas or continuation cars you better be prepared to work on them. You'll find you don't have a lot of options for repair shops so it's going to be up to you and that's why these forums are so important. Lastly, any of these cars even with the mildest of engines are a handfull and extremely fast. The are exhilarating to drive. Good luck.
