Spyder OR Speedster.....UGH!

I'm sure this topic belies my newbie status. I'm looking for input to aid in helping me decide between the purchase of a Spyder or a Speedster. If I had the money, I'd easily solve the problem with the purchase of one of each...,however I can only afford one. I'd appreciate hearing from experienced owners and their views.

Thanks

Russel, Thats a tough call..... I've owned a Beck Spyder, and currently have a CMC Speedster.... I truly loved the Spyder ( purchased turnkey in 2002 ) ..... The CMC is a restoration in progress. ( almost completed )....

First things first, find some one to give you access to a test ride / drive.....

Make a wish list....

You don't say if you plan to buy new or used..... If new, then you have to consider delivery time and individual differences between manufacturers as well as price.

If used, you need to list what you want in the car before you start shopping.... Then you can make allowances for what is available and what is not.... ALWAYS test drive the car before purchase....

Hope this helps, and "Welcome to the Madness"

If you can wait, come join us at "Speedsters Meet Spyders" at the Carlisle Import and Kit Car show next May. You'll be able to compare cars from several manufacturers side by side, talk to the manufacturers (Beck, Intermeccanica, JPS, and maybe Thunder Ranch), and even ride/drive different cars. It's the best place to gather info to make a wise decision.
