List and customer rating of vendors

Yes, The makers section is coming.

IMO, there need to be some rules here to make this section more meaningful.  A guy orders up a Wingnut Speedster and the next thing you see is all 10's.  How can you rate the quality or handling of a car that has not been delivered or that you have never even driven?  I don't think the overall objective is to rate your choice in the selection of a vendor. [If you love Speedsters and are on this blog site, we assume that you have impeccable taste.] 

boy i agree with u on this. should wait 6 months before u rate the vehicle

The old site also had a "Vendor" section where it would take you to the vendor web site's.We'll this be continued as well?

By a Raise of hands, how many of you have picked your vendor based solely on the review portion of this section....I rest my case......

Yes, the vendors section will continue with links. The ratings however will not. Over time they really didn't add value as almost all the ratings aggregated to the same numbers.

Can we have member ratings?

OK, you want ratings, on a scale from 1-10 you are a 2...maybe 21/2.....tops

i wouldnt know how to rate vince

Definitely with a sliding scale...

Hey GERD, when did you start stuttering?

nottt sure whattt youuu mean

OOPS!  It looks like the Special edition and SAS addresses are mixed up.  

Thanks I got it.

Any word on a section dedicated to the different replica vendors out there and their differences?

This would be a GREAT help to someone like me looking to purchase his first 356 Replica

 

Just now learning the difference between Becks and Vintage etc.

Would I go Becks for handling and Vintage for authenticity?

THATS A TOUGH SUBJECT AS EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION ON THEIR CAR AND THEIR BUILDER AND IT HAS SPILLED OVER IN MANY THREADS. ABETTER QUESTION TO ASK IS FIND OUT WHO HAS OWNED THE VARIOUS BUILDERS CARS AND ASK THEIR INPUT. ALAN, TROY AND A FEW OTHERS HAVE OWNED VARIOURS MANUFACTURER'S CARS. MY INPUT IS VINTAGE OR JPS BEACUSE OF YOUR LOCATION. VINCE WOULD ARGUE FOR INTERMECANNICA OR A SAS BUILD.

Thanks for the response, I understand it's almost like a Ford Vs. Chevy question... pro's and con's either way.

 

OK, new guy from Torrance, here is the skinny...

If you have 60 Large, get an IM

If you have 3 years to wait, get an SAS

If you want a coupe, go to JPS

If you want a basic tub that won't hurt your wallet, get a Vintage

 

If you want a used one, any of the above works

If you want the best power to weight ratio, stiffest, best handling Speedster that could run rings around the original, get a Beck.  I consider the Beck the driver's car of the manufacturers.  2010 Beck, 9000 miles as of today.  I could be biased though :-)

Sorry TB, I forgot about Beck, which I would personally put about in the middle.....

Middle of what? Careful....
