SPF (Coupe or Cobra) prices remain pretty stable because the quaility of the builds remain consistent. You pretty much KNOW what your getting, the only variance being the running gear.
FFR or any other Coupe or Cobra (with some small exceptions) can vary widely in their build quality. Some are fabulous, and BETTER than an SPF. Some are not. A consumer has to KNOW what to look for and be careful when buying, could be good, could be not so good.
I think BDR takes the same approach as SPF. Pretty consistent build quality, so it's a more 'sure bet' of getting a 'decent' car. Maybe not the best car out there, but it's a pretty safe bet for the average consumer.
The names associated with a build DO add a certain 'value'. In this case, Peter Brock and Shelbys blessing (Coupes are in the registry) are significant. Ed Combs built Tonys FFR Coupe, that 'name' tells me a lot about the 'quality' as well. There both priced about right for what they are!
I'm not endorsing ANY of the above mentioned manufacturers, just pointing out the facts.
