From reading his past postings over the years, Gary is fine gentleman and he, along with his other editorial committee members, really did write the SCOF Owner's Manual, which is awesome. It's also wonderful that David Kirkham from Kirkham Motorsports, Jay from Vintage (BDR Dealer), Rick Muck (Mark IV from Time Machine Motorsports-SPF Dealer) and Bob Putnam from ERA post here as well. These folks are important to the Cobra hobby. But, as I mentioned in another thread, maybe it was this one, I'm "cynical" by nature. But if you prefer "smartass", then that's fine with me too. :) |

"Dumbass," at least to me, is someone who would paint their Cobra beige and install some sort of home insulation around their roll bars thinking the insulation may actually help in an accident. I think an additional example, would be someone who straps their dog into the passenger seat of a Cobra, says they're taking their furry little critter for ride, and then takes a picture of said critter in their Cobra in what appears to be a darkened garage. Eschewing actually taking a picture of said furry little critter outside on the road, possibly near a park, maybe even an oyster bar. OTOH, a "smartass" is someone who has at least a modicum of intelligence, and uses it to pop into threads and poses what he (or she) thinks are "deep questions." Hey, maybe you're right, you can be both at the same time. :LOL: |
So it's your position that one can be "half," "smart," and "dumb" all at the same time? That there is a mind-blower.%/

Ah Bill, you have a way of summing it up!!! (BTW, you turned me on to the "Family Guy 'Where's my Money' clip years ago).....I have used it although Fox keeps pulling it off youtube.

Personally, I compared both Backdraft and SPF before finally buying the SPF.
Reason: the size of the backdraft didn't look right to me. Those extra couple of inches (added to the wheelbase and interior width) which neither my wife nor I needed. Quality of construction seemed to be comparable. BDR is definitely less $$$ to complete. However, If you're a "big ole boy" and your passenger is also, then you'll appreciate the extra cabin room in the BDR. |
Wow! I actually killed this thread!

On the LS7 portion of this thread - I have a 2007 Z06 with almost 100k miles on it , and I use it every day and couldn't be happier. I had heard of some rocker issues or valve issues that resulted in damaged engines and it was traced to a batch of parts.
As for SPF vs backdraft - my personal vote is SPF. |
Checked out the SPF car again at the end of last week.....had more time to really be educated about the whole car. What a solid piece of machinery the SPF are!! Still hoping to check out the BDR car this weekend or next as a comparison. I Feel I owe it to myself to fully investigate both options.....seeing the BDR car equipped with the coyote will be a big win just on powertrain comparison alone. At this point leaning heavily on the SPF due to the condition of the car and the owner is a great guy and friend.

Ace, any decision is good one.
BTW, Steve (PANAVIA) who posted above you, while not a SPF dealer, is a wonderful resource for SPF's. I didn't even think about him and his business here in the SF Bay Area in my earlier responses. He's a busy guy, but he's posted about installing a 6-speed in his SPF Cobra and he may also have FI too. Not sure about that one. Additionally, he has literally built from the ground up his SPF Daytona Coupe. He owns a business that caters to Cobra's and musclecars. And also has helped me with my Kirkham on a couple of occasions. Strong SPF (among other brands) support there. |
Ace, if you're going to sink your money into the Cobra world, buy used and get the big block engine. U need to experience old school, gasoline, carb car. Drive it for a year. Live with it. If it is a car u love, u will get another one, a better one.

What kind of SBF did the SPF have? It's pretty easy to get 550-600 hp out of these if you want.

Not sure why you don't pull the trigger on the SPF sounds perfect. Surprised it hasn't sold.

The BDR with coyote might be more perfect, won't know until he checks her out.
Did you marry your 1st high school sweetheart :) |
