Time to stir the pot in this debate:
I have a Superformance Dealer 30 minutes from my home and after driving the SPF and the Backdraft, I just paid to have a Backdraft shipped across the county and am now the proud owner of BDR #357. It handles like a dream, the ride is great and it corners like it is on rails. Fit and finish is fantastic. I have nothing against Superformance, but there is no way in the world Superformance is a better handling car - just no way - the tracks prove that out over-and-over. I could have had either one, drove them both, and liked the look and handling of the Backdraft better. It really comes down to personal preference. Put the same engine in both, take them on the track with the same driver and you will see that the Backdraft handles better, drive them on the street and they both feel great. Fit and finish are similar. Superformance might be a little better, but not for the price. You truly can't go wrong with either and unfortunately it comes down to personal preference. Sometimes things that are more expensive are not better, they are just overpriced. I love the SPF, just like the BDR a bit more.
