ok, let's forget the fuel injection, tires come with the car, so figure more like 90k. trying to understand the coup premium of 75k over a SPF MK3

Because they can! 
I know it sounds like a smart a$$ed quip, but there really isn't that much that goes into these cars to justify the final $$$ expense. Its not like they've spent big on R&D for engine development, or traction control, launch control, power windows, central locking, cruise control, ABS power steering, blah blah blah... Even copying the shape would come cheaper than trying to create from scratch when compared to an OEM design that goes through the rigmarole.
Basically that's the price of exclusivity - they know it and if you want it, you pay! imho  |

The last MKII Daytona Coupe that I know of was delivered last year to a person in Texas. All in all, he had about $110,000 plus delivery cost in the roller. This was also after a 2 year wait for the delivery. You add installation cost plus engine and transmission cost to the roller, one can easily get to over $150,000-$175,000 for the Daytona Coupe. MHOP is that SPF has priced this car out of what most people are willing to pay. The above is why the used Daytona Coupes prices are rising. Hillbank sold a used MKI at SEMA in the above price range.

Superformance does not price the car, Shelby does. It is not a Superformance product, it just happens to be built in the same factory that Superformance sources it's products from.

Fair enough, but that said, seeing as SPF manufacture it, don't they set the wholesale price to Shelby?
So a little bit of fat for them a lot of fat for Shelby and there you go... |

No, SPF DO NOT manufacture it, Hi Tech Automotive does. Hi Tech and SPF are not the same, HT is the factory and SPF is the brand. They are no longer sister companies and only have a "supplier/purchaser" relationship.
Shelby sets the price point on the coupe. Obviously the cost factors in but Superformance has no control over that.

I had that statement in a composing window. Hi Tech Automotive is a contract manufacturer, they have built cars for Noble and others in the past.
(Edit: Ownership tree redacted - HiTech and SPF are separate)

Well then I stand corrected!
Why thank you and Apologies... 
But really my point remains the same... Doesn't it?
A little fat here, a lot more fat there.
Ps. Fwiw then - on your logic, do I need to take back every time I've said SPF make a good roller? .
