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.

My perception is MY reality!!!!! not yours. We all have to much time on our hands!!! Dont any of you guys have some insider trading information? A new challenging problem we need to solve with your car be it Cobra, or other. A home repair project needing advice.

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?

You're absolutely right, scoring is much easier than running the scoreboard. With that you have to pay absolute attention, because if you don't have that clock running just right, you catch a lot of flack real, real fast. I tend to doze off with my eyes open even while scoring the game, but I usually get away with it without being caught.

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