Hey,
As I recall, you are ALSO a member of the "hosed by Lubinsky" club. There are not many survivors so be nice to me...................
As my mother used to say "don't make me come over there" (i.e. your forum!)

Not a member, never gave him a dime... used the interwebs to determine the stench was right  But I am having fun, so hope you are too.
I can only speak for the operation here, we are legal on fed, state, county, and even town level. I am lucky to have a brother that is a golden wrench and runs his own shop with a similar passion to keep these dreams alive for people.
Sorry if it went the wrong way... I've said from the beginning the products are not competitors when the customer puts their wants/priorities on paper. I never saw any of these forums as "ours" or "yours" and respected the posters interest in both.

again a response blown out of proportion, I believe if you want to buy beers for everyone, you may be alone for a long time.

I'm sure that most are "plastic" like yours and mine.

I'd bet you're right. I'd also be willing to go out on a limb and say no one, ever, has sprung for the aluminum upgrade.  Yet, that is.... |

And thus, another thread ruined by petty bickering, perhaps those who are guilty should have thought twice and taken it offline instead of potentially turning off another "cobra fanatic" from dealing with any of your dealerships. I've met all of the guilty parties and expect more out of the three of you. Guess today is the day you should all step back and think about just what you posted here and what effect it can and will have on your personal businesses in the future now that the posts are here to be seen forever once Jamo or Computerworks sees it and this thread gets locked down.

SPF v. BDR
Getting back to the original question.......I bought 688 from BDR two years ago and I couldn't be happier. The 342R is a great match for power to weight ratio and I've happily tracked it many times without a trailer. Two things helped with my decision, first the dealer is 30 minutes away and they do a great job of servicing it; second, the BMW suspension is fabulous! I've ridden in an SPF and it looked and handled nicely. It was definitely heavier but that might have been in part because of the 351W engine. I didn't think it cornered as well as the BDR and the footbox was just a bit tight. I'm 6' tall. Other than that, it's all about the relative look. But for me there's nothing like the way a BDR handles the corners and the Roush engine is strong, reliable and has great torque through the gears. i've got almost 10,000 trouble-free miles on mine.
