One thing for sure is there are several great Cobra replica/kit manufacturers, each having great appeal in different respects, support being the major one. Having met and dealt with different manufacturers, I understand this. It's a great fraternity. (Thank heavens the manufacturers haven't replicated the attititude of the originator, CS!)
As for me, I'm glad I have an ERA.
I know what I like, being a car designer, primarily a chassis engineer. The ERA is, well, just right. Quality is tops, it handles great, rides like a dream, the car is solid and it has the perfect balance between originality and subtle improvements over the original 427 S/C. This was brought home to me when an owner of no less than four original Cobras told me my ERA was the best Cobra he had ever driven. Makes me think I made the right choice.
