Either you're dreaming about the wrong acronym or might have a case of dyslexia. Either way, you definitely need to see a doctor. You have ERA-itis.

Blasphemy! I've owned two SPF's and equally two CSX's. Both are quality cars but the main difference between SPF's,CSX's and ERA's is that SPF's are finished rollers and the others aren't.
If you're mechanically inclined and want the pride in building/creating your cobra, buy ONLY what you "think" you can afford, then plan on doubling that amount! Cobras are ALWAYS works in progress!
Whatever your decision, the end product is only as good as the builder.

I am sure we could debate this for years. - Worked on all of them, I personally like the SPF uber-alles.

If he really wants something to complain about have him search "Lubinsky".

I try not to work him up... I think he's borderline postal as is.

let's not bust the color, but when I was looking for mine, I had several people (owners) tell me the yellow is the least desired color. Superformance should be pushing SN 3000+ by now. Mine is nearly 2 yrs old and my SN is in the mid 2700. I had no issues (bugs) with mine at all. I'd give Keith Craft a call, and grab the blue and white they have. They do it right, and their engine is outstanding.

yellow is surpassed by orange and that nasty bile green that D&M advertised last year.
I had "bugs" in SPF 760 and 1568 but they were always quickly and properly resolved by the folks at Dynamic and Performance Engineering in Ross, Ohio. They're great cars, well built with quality fit and finish. I don't know about the new owners in Massury, Ohio who have some serious shoes to fill.

Dan , I cant believe you used the "L" word.
as for real or not , it is only the travels and history that make a car great , not who signed the pink slip.

With the street package (bumpers ,no hoops, undercarrage(somebody spell that for me) exhaust) a bigblocks headers have fitment issues as compared to side pipes so 351 is as big as you can go on a street SPF .

SDR, My motor is a 9.5 Dart block based motor (windsor). The original owner of the car was head of engine develepment (sp) for Roush. It's similar to their 427R motor, but has a bigger cam and a few other different internals. The exhaust was done by Roush as well, and is based off their Nascar style exhuast.
Patrick, just keep telling yourself that that outdated boat motor you have is the superior

No, it's not "superior," it's just not wrong.

Please it's still too early in November to have our monthly big block versus small block argument.
