Hey, every village has their idiot. At least ERA's is far and away easily identified. We won't hold it against ERA...they make very fine cars indeed.

Back on topic...I haven't run solid lifters since my '70 1/2 Z-28 days. Adjusting the rocker arms every 2-3K miles was cool for a while, then it got old (especially when the car was my daily driver). I really love the hydraulic roller technology that we have today...still makes great power down low (where it's used the most) and I never have to lift the valve covers. I miss the sound of them sometimes, but a little loud pedal overcomes that quickly.

Carry on, gents.
