I've had my SPF since Oct. 1st. I just went over 5,000 miles. That includes 4 track days and one coming up Saturday at Sears Point. So far! I haven't had a single problem, excepted for the typical parking brake thing and the clutch linkage adjustment. There's some drive train mods that I'm going to have done early this spring. But outside of that, the car's running great. Couldn't be happier. Lew |
Lew:
Thanks for the response, what color is your Superformance car? Also what size gas tank did you order? Juan |

That's me and my cobra in my avatar. The SPF comes with a 17 gallon tank. You can buy an after market fuel cell, up to 25 -30 gallons(I think). |
Juan,
The short answer is... SPF! There is another thread, ERA vs. SPF there are lot's of good posts there, give 'em a look. John SPF1421 |
Lew,
Who is putting on the track day at Sears Point this Saturday? Cheers, Pete |
Most Manufactures will build you a turnkey cobra. SPF is one that only does turnkey. Talk to all the manufactures to see what they can offer you. SPF is a great car though...Here are a few I know for sure will build you turn key.
Midstates B&B Unique BackDraft Racing Hunter There are also private builders you can contact: Tristatemotorsports.com (Mike Mack) Whitby Motorcars Bruce Botti (haven't seen him on the board lately though) Good luck! GS |
Bruce Botti did my Unique turnkey cobra and all I can say is that he does excellent work!!

Buying a new rolling chassis from Superformance
I contacted the folks at Dynamic motorsports and my plans are to buy one from them. Also I talked to Eric at Performance Engineering right behind Dynamic Motorsports and believe they can do a good job on a 351 Windsor stroked to 418 with a .586 lift cam putting out approx. 525 hp. What do you all think of a small block versus a big block.

ERA also builds turnkey cars.

Well, the SPF is the only one that i know that is ONLY available as a turn-key or roller. But just about every replica manufacturer can arrange to have the car built by someone experienced, to whatever degree you want. So you can write a check and get a driveaway of i believe of any replica.
Lots of choices for you. |

YOU NEED TO TALK TO GREAT ASP! He has the same motor. 418. 351w Strokers one of the best both world's engines out there. IMHO...:rolleyes: GS |
Got Snake-
Excellent job on the bob and weave!! I like the misdirection and the redirection to Great Asp. Could that possibly be the end of the sb v. bb debate on this thread??? It would be a first. What are the odds? :LOL: :LOL: |
sb vs. BB, now you've really started something!!
Seriously, whichever you choose you won't go wrong with Eric at Perf. Eng., they built my itty-bitty little small block and they did a great job. I've never heard anything but good about him from others as well. There is of course, something to be said for having someone close to you do the drivetrain for you (don't know how close you are to their shop). On the other hand, installing his motors in SPF cars is pretty much Eric's bread and butter. They do a nice tidy installation. John SPF1421 |
sb vs bb
Hi John
SPF 1421: Thanks for your comment about Eric. I must be dense and certainly is not my intention to beat a dead horse to death what's the big issue of sb vs. bb? Other than size and weight what is all the fuss about? juanone |
I think it is some sort of Phallic thing, the best i can figure out.
Watch, and you shall see..... |
SUPERFORMANCE
Only one roller to buy, Superformance.
The quality, fit and finish are second to none. See them all, then buy the Superformance. You can look in my gallery at the 418 that Eric built for me. 556 HP on pump gas, and very drivable (sp?) Great Asp :MECOOL: |
Great Asp car

Where on this site can I take a look at your SPF |
