Bonyhadi: Gary Paterson may be a wonderful guy and maybe I just caught him on a bad day. But, at the time, I was trying to make an honest comparison and asked a very open ended question. "How do you see your car differing from the Superformance and why do you feel it's better?" It was sent as an e mail and I never got an answer. That's all I know.

Even after I placed my order for the Superformance, I am still comparing and looking at kits and engines. I don't really know a lot about cars and I am trying to learn. Some of of the Shelby dealers were fantastic to deal with and were very helpful. Roy Hunt in Las Vegas was a real gentleman and I can't say enough about him and his company. If I were buying a Shelby, I would buy one from him in a minute. He was very polite and was great when I made my final decission.

I tried to compare the Kirkham, the Shelby and the Superformance on a part by part comparison. I also tried to look at cars independantly from the engine choice. As many have said, they are differnet. My final decission was based more on practicality and my personality over price. I thought at first I wanted the most original. When I went through all the research on the three cars I felt taking care of an aluminum body, a hand made car and getting a 427 side oiler fixed would be a pain in the ass. I also thought having an aluminum body would drive me crazy. Opinions vary, but most of my research suggested that they were fairly delicate and would dent easily. I wanted a car I could drive to work every day if I wanted to and park in a public garage if needed. So it wasn't price, as much as I liked having new Ford parts and a new crate motor. Just how I am. I will also say that as I continue my research and I question my decission, I always come back to feeling like I made a good choice for me.
