[QUOTE="365 Saleen, post: 16949876, member: 201889"] Several years ago, the place I worked at was a Superformance Dealer and I got to assembly a lot of Cobras, (about 20 of them) 2 Daytona Coupes and a GT40. Because we built a lot of these cars, I also saw Backdraft cars and a few Factory 5 cars. At that time, the Superformance and Backdraft cars were superior in every aspect. By itself, away from any other kits, the Factory 5 Seems like a nice kit. Park it next to a Superformance or Backdraft car and you could tell it was trash. For a budget build, they are fine. Most of the Superformance cars I built were based on the 351 W with the vast majority being 427 cid engines from Roush. Both EFI and Carb. I also built 6 Shelby CSX cars with an all Aluminum FE engine at 511 cid, with one of them being EFI. Those were bad to the bone and expensive as hell. The typical Superformance rolling chassis was around $60K at that time. The most money spent on one was over $130K in 2010 or so. Fun to drive, but dangerous if you did not know what you were doing behind the wheel. [/QUOTE]
