I'M 38 YEARS OLD, BUT ACTUALLY PURCHASED AND BEGAN BUILDING MY ERA COBRA BACK IN 1985 AT THE TENDER AGE OF 25. CLEARLY, IT HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME FOR MY CAR TO REACH ITS CURRENT LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE. WHATS THE UPSIDE TO ALL THIS TIME AND EFFORT? I WOULD SAY THIS WHOLE COBRA EXPERIENCE HAS INCREASED MY KNOWLEDGE OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING BY AT LEAST 10 FOLD. FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A COBRA REPLICA, YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW A CAR LIKE THIS NEVER REALLY GETS COMPLETED. IT EVOLVES OVER TIME WITH COUNTLESS UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS. I SUSPECT THAT MUST BE THE CHALLENGE OF A CAR LIKE THIS AND WHY I STILL HAVE NEVER BEEN BORED WITH IT OVER SO MANY YEARS. BEST OF LUCK TO ANYONE MAKING A NEW PURCHASE. I WILL SAY IN CLOSING THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY ERA AND WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE CURRENTLY IN THE MARKET TO TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT THEIR CAR. 13 YEARS AFTER THE SALE THE PEOPLE THERE, ESPECIALLY PETER AND BOB STILL UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY.
