There are some fanatic ERA owners and some fanatic SPF owners, who cares what anyone on this forum says, there is no, zero, nada accountability. It is for entertainment purposes only. Everyone getting bent out of shape go take a cobra ride, I learned a long time ago when you sell you car you sell it to ONE person, not a group, not an opinion. For what is worth SPF in REALITY is PERCEIVED to be the best fiberglass replica on the market. In reality SPF's has Shelby licensing stamp, I dont give a fuk that everyone on this forumn thinks it is worthless in reality it is adds value to the car.
ERA owners on the other hand have to kick or scream or everyone forgets about them because they do not have the capacity to fab more than 20? cars a year. Great for them they know their limitations, but they are no Superformance. Oh that did feel good, and yes I am always right LOL!!!!
I am not lazy but I sure dont like doing work I have paid other to do.

Perceived by whom and by what measure? Do you mean the best reproduction made from fiberglass that best replicates the real deal? ERA is the best fiberglass replica on the market... period. |

Perceivd by me and my money is the short of it. The long of it after owning one for two years and analysing the suspension design, one designed for a superformance and not taken from another and made to work on a cobra is one reason. Second after attending numerous car shows have not see one that comes close to fit and finish, third, after driving and experiencing it rock solid feel, no rattles, no sagging doors, no panel rubs, optimuim driver ergonomics, fourth, after intial bugs worked out bullit proof reliability, i have not laid a wrench on it in a year except for checking bolts and nuts which I found so tight I was lucky I did not bust a knuckle. True the mirror on the fender is a useless POS. Oh an dealer network is second to none and numerous throughout the country.

Got it. Just wanted to make sure I understood that your perception is reality. Good grief. |

Uhh, no inside info., but I have spent the day scoring 4th Grade CYO basketball. You'd be pleased to know that their disputes were about on the same level as the ones we have here.  |

At least their disputes are settled on the court and not here. Scoring is much easier than operating the scoreboard. Are ya yella or something?  |

I disagree, Contemporary is the best fiberglass replica  ...But wait, isn't a Fiberglass CSX4000 series really the best replica on the market.
I miss my Contemporary Cobras.............
