As much as I love ERAs, you have to remember that not all ERAs are built by the guys there in New Britain. An ERA built by someone else may be as good, but it will never be "better," and it might not be "as good" either (if I had built ERA732 it would not be nearly as nice as it is now
). Just keep that in mind. If you're seriously going to track your car hard, then you might appreciate the additional strength of the ERA frame and their outboard braked rear. You have to run the car pretty hard to notice the difference. I'm going to put all that aside though and point out a few words in your question:
"or just get one of the many reasonable priced readily available SPF’s...." Remember that a lot of the "Cobra experience" is getting what makes you happy. From your question alone, I would say that if you "just settled for an easily available SPF," you would not be happy. I think you've already made up your mind, you just need "reinforcement."
