I had one person actually talk to me and that was just to ask me if I could move aside so he could show the car to someone else. They did not ever make me feel like a company I wanted to spend my hard earned money with.

BDR was not only courteous to me but actually followed up with the things they said they would provide after they returned back to Florida. The next time I saw them they were right next to the SPF trailer again so I had to be sure it wasn’t me. This time I actually asked for help and they gave me the token speech that was for anyone stopping buy but never once did they even ask if I was interested.
I walked over the BDR trailer and the Owner greeted me by Name.
By the end of the day I made my purchase.
I know that was a lot of rambling about a individual sale but from My perspective people do business with people and that is one of the most important things to consider when making a decision like this.

My last comment will be about the after sale process.

#1 They met every commitment.
#2 Everything went as they said it would.
#3 I have come to determine that it was not just to make a sale. These people are really nice people.
#4 I had one problem that they told me what to do about and if it didn’t work they would send the replacement part right away. No questions.

Good luck on your decision.

You should add..."your mileage may vary." I drove several cars, but my heart was set on an SPF. I didn't like the first SPF dealer and sales rep that I contacted, so I went to another dealer. Really no different than when you're buying a daily driver. The second dealer/salesman was so low key that I tried to hand him a check for a deposit and he said to think about for a week.

Superformance met all of their pre-sales and post sales commitments in my book.

Drive the cars, decide which manufacturer you want to go with, then focus on where you're going to buy the car from (used, new, which dealer). Not rocket science.
