If you want a car that handles among the best and has a decent paintjob, you get the backdraft.

If you want to pay a bit more for more originality, better paint quality, and great handling get the Superformance.

If you have the $10-15k extra for the Superformance and want the best of both worlds including a paintjob way better than the superformance, get the backdraft and have it repainted. The actual tolerance on the panels still won't be as tight. And if the 1/16" difference in body panel gap bothers you, I recommend not getting a Cobra.

As far as actual evenness goes, mine seems to be even on all of the panels except the trunk needs re-alignment every now and then. And that takes me all of 2 minutes every couple hundred miles.

I agree with itstock. If your concerned with gaps, go buy a Porsche. Just don't be disappointed with the yawns at stop lights.

The price of the car doesn't matter...Backdraft's are still very expensive cars...You see good fit on very cheap mass production cars.
The gaps and fitting leave much to be desired...in fact they suck.
You just have to tell yourself...this is a replica, not real...this is a replica, not real...etc.
