Hello everyone, I've seen on numerous occasions where folks are told the CBA vs DBA comparison becomes negated in the performance category if the goal is to modify the car, especially beyond simple FBO scenarios. I know the interior and suspension have been enhanced quite a bit over the years and I've gone through MC's CBA/DBA model year comparisons a few times. For those of you with high horsepower DBA builds, if you had to do everything over again would any of you simply grab a well cared for higher mileage CBA for high-40s/low-50s to start from?
I'm wondering because despite the 2015s coming off-lease for 75k, for that I could pick up a CBA and throw 25k at it and end up with an extremely well rounded 800+hp R35. It's tough because on one hand, I think finding a middle-ground may make sense. I go for an early DBA but I'd still be looking at mid to low 60s and at that point, who wouldn't pay an extra 10k for a 2015 with 10k miles which brings me back to my original thoughts.
Rather than continue to mull this over by myself, I figured I'd throw it out there to see what you guys think.
