Used Superformance or New Backdraft from Vintage

[itstock]

If the Superformance is kinda sorta exactly what you want, and you don't plan on tracking the car, you will get a car that has already been sorted with better paint and closer to the original. Of course the Superformance is perfectly capable of still being tracked and doing so very well. And at the end of the day, you are buying another persons used car (which can be good as it has been sorted).

If you want a car that is brand spanking new (which also means potential growing pains), handles slightly better, and will truly be exactly what you want, then get the Backdraft. It comes with the expense of not having almost show quality paint like the Superformance, as it will be slightly less than near show quality. It also isn't as an exact of a replica.Of course most people will never tell the difference and think that the paint and body work are beautifully done. And lets be honest, they will still either know it is a "Shelby Cobra", or they will just think it's a cool car. The minor variations don't seem important to anyone other than the pure diehards.

Everything else can be assumed as equal (purchase price, fun factor, retaining value, coolness, etc).
