As Doug says do some reading on it. I think the best thing is to compare them side by side somewhere local at a meet or a dealer as you're talking apples and oranges.

Let me pick up the phone for you. Hello Evan? One moment please.

I can't believe this thread hasn't flushed out "Real 1" yet....

Honestly, everything the guys have said (almost) is true. Do your homework and DRIVE a couple if you can. It will all come to personal preference and comfort with your purchase. Every brand has the + and the -... If I add them up, my total would be different than yours. In short, there is no one here (almost) that will give you the perfect answer to make you sleep at night. And, once you've decided, the same applies to your engine, trans etc.

One thing I can assure you though, is that you will always have questions and you will always be doing something new and working on your car. That part never ends, and that part is also some of the fun that comes with owning one of these.

It's also what we're here for.....

Just though I would ask... I understand everyone's different, and I need to find out for myself. I can get a Superformance built with a 427 R Roush TKO 600 18" poliehed wheel and bumpers for 70K.

Or I can get a CSX the same motor and trans with the stock wheels and tires and do the upgrade later on the wheels and tires, bumpers for around 80K.

I'm going to drive to Seattle this weekend to see both.

Thanks, Rick

Rick, a lot of variables out there left unmentioned. My first question would be are either the CSX of SPF early or later built cars? A

lso, not many CSX owners install Roush 427W's in their 427 cars. So that may be a "unique" quality for any potential CSX purchase.

The SPF's and CSX's are both top notch cars. There's a lot of material here on both. If you want something closer to original spec, then the CSX is it, though with 18" wheels, the SPF may make more sense.

I'm assuming you are going to Park Place. If you have not talked to anyone yet, ask for Dave Brusky. I hope I spelt that correctly. Anyway, I dealt with Dave for 8 years before I finally bought my car. He was always helpful even when he knew I was just looking to keep the flame of desire alive.
