Evan, while that may be true, the base price of an ERA is only $19.9k. When you throw those things in, the ERA and the CAV CSX roller are comparably priced- even with the additional cost for paint on the ERA. I think we need to wait a while to see what the CAV CSX rollers actually wind up costing, but as I noted elsewhere in this thread (I think it was this thread), my ERA (even with paint) cost approximately what the CAV roller is selling for. I should add that I don't have 6-pins- I have the 5-pin hub adaptors- and I have the standard rear with standard brakes. Other than that, I got just about every other upgrade available.

But there is no denying that the CAV will be a "real" cobra. Only time will tell which is the better value. . .
