My friends tell me I have the only "kit car" Superformance around.
They come to my house and lift the cover off the car and are shocked to see essentially a bare frame and painted body with some suspension components. They ask why I tore apart a perfectly good brand new car. My simple answer is when it comes to engines and cars, I'm anal retentive, type A personality, compulsive/obsessive,psychopathand nothing "the way it comes from the factory" is good enough for me.
My main reasons for buying a Superformance are:
Price
Stunningly beautiful body work and paint
A brick s**t-house strong frame with the body riveted and bonded to it.
Power brakes and, in general, high quality components.
I like the way the a** end of a SPF looks, more than the originals and the more originally sculpted ERA, Kirkham SAI, and Contempory Cobras.
I know it's not correct but I like the way the rear wheels and tires "fill" the wheel well on a SPF. It just looks cooler to me.
All this being said, if Turks ERA had come on the market 6 months earlier (before I got my SPF), I would have bought it in a heartbeat!
