The Straman craftsmanship is top notch. Having owned Stramans for 15 years and also had rides in a number of factory verts there is no comparing. Better lines, power top - being able to push a button to lower the top from your seat (factory verts have a number of latches/buttons - it is a hassle), having the factory gauges & buttons where they are supposed to be (referring to a TT swap). Even subtle things like the closing of the doors - I have seen a number of factory verts that "clang" or sound "rattly" (I'm sure structural issues) while the Straman has a nice "thud". No disrespect to the factory vert owners here but if you like them better then you havent seen a nice Straman with your own eyes or driven one.
