Yep, But that's a 'race' car for road use

The Brock is Rari / Lambo competition . . . Check out the interior . . . airco and all . . . It's a double prize but it won't hurt your Gucci loafers

Hi Rod,
I really wish you great success with the Superformance, it is a great looking car and I love all things Cobra. Was this the car at the Capel car show last Sunday ? It had great quality and detail. But a Cobra with a roof and wind-up side windows.....what ever will they think of next, not sure I could get used to that
How about bringing it to the ACOC sprint at Goodwood later in the year ?

Not a hugely knowledgable expert as some on the ol' Cobra Daytona, but didn't lift off to the skies at speed due to bad underbody aerodynamics or something ? I think the looks are great when you consider how fast it was designed. Gorgeous 60's classic racer and love the 2005 performance..

Smeone hit the nail on the head.."exclusivity"

Surely that has to be worth the money over a TVR.

AND you certainly can't compare it to a Marcos which I would agree is rare so might make it exclusive but it's as ugly as my mother-in-law (before the make up)

I'd place my money on one........Looks sensational.

Good review

I've driven the BADaytona in the picture, and talked at length with their owners and engine builder. It's now fitted with a 427ci Ford V8 (which any self respecting Daytona Replica needs to have) hand built to the highest standards by British American Engines (the sister company), which makes 550bhp all day long, and the car is finished beautifully inside and out. The car has already been over to Le Mans and also to Belgium, and is proving to be a very useable road car. I mean, you can get a set of golf clubs in the boot! The British American Daytona seems to have a engine spec advantage over the Superformance, for half the price.

Both are lovely cars it must be said, but I'd rather thave 40 grand left in my pocket.

If any of you guys want to sample the British American Daytona get your bums down to Total Kit Car Live at Brands Hatch on Sat 17th Sept (£5 entry) and you can go round the track in it.
I've been in this car and I saw the engine being run up on the test rig and both are awsome and the sidepipes are music to any ears....
Friend is about to take delivery of his turnkey one, c/w 427 motor, & air con.It should also be at Brands and its RHD

More photos etc. can be found on www.superformance.com - and for another independent UK road test go to the News Section on the left hand side of their Home Page, then to the Andrew Frankel article.
