I can see this thread is going downhill fast! Handling problems? Walmart? What the heck is this all about? Sounds like sh_t stirring for no apparent reason.
Back to the original thought.
Both Superformance and Backdraft are great cars. I bought a Backdraft, because at the time is was many thousands of dollars cheaper than the Superformance, and I thought it handled and rode much better. (part of the cheaper aspect is fit, finish and paint. I have worked to correct all three in my car) The Superformance I drove had a huge 460 engine in it and seemed very front heavy and understeered like crazy. Maybe with a lighter engine it would have been more neutral?
In any case, I love my Backdraft But, I would have taken a Superformance as well, if I had a bigger budget. Another factor is at the time, there was a local Backdraft dealer near me, with the closest Superformance dealer an hour and a half away. Now, I realize that is no big deal.
