Unhappy Gee, guys...I don't know...

As an SPF owner and pretty much an SPF bigot....I'm not so sure I get the same value for my money with your PMS offering.

If I read your website correctly, your price is $39,215, if I recall correctly.

But...at that price...with the options quoted on PMS's website, you have to add these items to make it similar to an SPF...

$ 195.00 Body snaps and ferrules
$ 350.00 Tonneau cover
$1,895.00 Convertible Top and side windows
$ 895.00 Heater/defroster with controls
$ 395.00 Remote Oil Filter Assembly
$ 895.00 Oil Cooler Assembly (complete)
$ 395.00 Dual Fans w/ Manual Override
$ 650.00 HP HD Racing Aluminum
$ 595.00 Standard 18 gallon aluminum Gas Tank
$2,695.00 TRIGO pin drive wheels
$ 795.00 Leather Interior
$ 460.00 Smith gauge upgrade
$1,200.00 Dual racing stripes

For a total of $11,415.00 additonal added to the quoted $39,215 price, for a revised total of $50,630....and THEN you get to put an engine and drive train in your PMS....

I guess my calculator works differently than yours, but mine says $39,900 for an SPF roller which INCLUDES all the above mentioned options is a helluva lot LESS than a 'comparable' PMS, which is $50,630 for a roller with the same equipment that comes standard on an SPF....is that right....?

But...indeed, if one throws out all the features that PMS makes you pay EXTRA for....(don't forget those are the same options that are STANDARD on an SPF)....then I guess you're right: the PMS is cheaper.

Now...if I'm mis-reading PMS's website...then someone needs to tell me. Also, I'd sure like to see some of the names who make up some of that 90% you're talking about....'cause I ain't believing it.....plain and simple.

But....I don't know....I could be wrong....
