Not Ranked
Here is a slightly different take on the question. I looked at SPF and ERA (I even had a ERA on order) and both were great cars (I just couldn't pass up the Aluminum deal). What I noticed about ERA and SPF is the community will accept (think resale) a small block (351 or 351 stroker) in a SPF, but not really in a ERA or Shelby or Kirkham. I think this is an advantage to SPF because you can build a lighter weight engine with plenty of power out of a stroked 351. It will be cheaper and lighter than a reliable FE and lighter (about the same cost) than a 460/460 stroker and still produce 600HP. Oh, and before everyone starts talking about aluminum blocks, there are aluminum block 351s as well.
