You get the latest in refinements and the company's reputation and options speak for themselves.

Thanks for the advice. I'm checking out the SPF again tomorrow and I hope to make it out to Dallas next weekend to see a BDR from Vintage that was produced in 2013 with a coyote setup. This will hopefully really help me establish the following
*Permitting weather I will have gotten to ride in both a coyote car and a car with a 427.....hopefully puts me in a position to make a decision on the powertrain
*Overlooking the BDR from Vintage will eliminate or confirm all this information about the paint, the fit, the finish, and just overall how comfortable I am with what I see
*DRUMROLLL....do I want a 10 year old SPF with 10K miles or a brand new BDR.
*Either way I don't think I really can go to bad off track. Assuming the SPF is in the shape I keep thinking its in I would think it would be something that I could sell in a year or so for the same price assuming I find myself wanting a BDR or different powertrain. Going the BDR route I start off with brand new components with good support and would "theoretically" be slightly ahead of the price increase that may or may not get transferred into the market. Worst case scenario with the BDR you end up losing a few bucks selling it to either get another BDR with another power plant or thinking you made a mistake and look at getting into a SPF
*I think the drivetrain is going to pay a big role. My testosterone and inner gearhead says get the traditional gas guzzling, cammed out SBF or BBF that makes a bunch of noise and makes babies cry....my rational side says get a turnkey coyote. Boils down to a personal decision every man has to make

I would take the new BDR over a 10 year old 10kmiles SPF. Better yet I would look for a relatively new BDR and Spend 40-45k.

I've had my eye out on ebay and cobracounty but not many options. Seems like they are all the wrong color or have the wrong drivetrain. If I had more experience and thought I could find the right BDR for $45 that would be worth waiting on because I am in no hurry at all and I always welcome the thought of saving money. I'm looking for one of the silver family cars with either black stripe, no stripe or silver silver stripes. I guess I should keep in mind this is driving season so maybe there aren't as many up for sale or may there are I don't really know how the cobra market moves
