[quote=LoBelly]If you are looking for a more complete set-up then I would suggest that you contact the local (to Australia) Superperformance dealer.

I'm now a confirmed addict of the forum and read every post...
I agree that this is a great forum, and I have been already impressed at the enthusiasm and of the membership to give considered feedback and suggestions.

Because I'm free to spend the time I'm hoping to complete my research in less than 5 to 6 months, although I acknowledge that there are lots of variables to consider and balance. I'm already starting a big spreadsheet of the combinations, issues, etc, which I hope will assist me to create a shortlist to zero in on.

If your experience is anything like mine, you'll find the whole process an incredibly personal and satisfying experience because you'll be essentially realising a life long dream!

I've ordered and am patiently waiting the arrival of my Superformance roller and I have found Colin, Shelly and Keith at CTC incredibly helpful, straight and willing to accommodate a few of my personal tastes/desires and objectives!

I'd definitively consider them in your deliberations.

Regards......Paul
Yes, I definitely want this to be an enjoyable research and select process.

A couple of questions, if I may:

What was the lead time quoted to you by Superperformance between placement of order and delivery of the roller?

What was the lead time quoted to you by CTC between placement of order and delivery of the compliant Cobra?

Cheers, Graeme

Graeme,

I'd call CTC to get accurate delivery times as I was able to pick up one of a few Cobras that CTC had already ordered from the factory in South Africa and therefore did not get to discuss "normal delivery times".

I had been liaising with CTC for about 6 weeks including a visit to their showroom not too far outside of Melbourne before I confirmed my order by specifying colours, sidepipes, bumper bars, wheel size, dash layout, roll bars, and paying my deposit about 4 weeks ago and I'm expecting delivery end Jan/early Feb.

Regards......Paul

Hi & thanks Cameron,

I'm hoping I'll have delivery of my roller in Perth by mid Feb!

When I was with Colin and Shelly at their new showroom about 5-6 weeks ago, they had a beautiful car in the showroom that looks a lot like your car from the photo's in your gallery....Is that your car?? If it is, it's a lovely car Cameron!

I know it's a bloody long way to come, but I'd really like to come East for one of the main Cobra events next year once my cobra's on the road...I've seen a few of the Perth guys express similar aspirations, so who knows, maybe we could russle up a few interested guys from the West to make the trek East next year!

Regards......Paul
