There is a night and day difference between SPF and factory built ERA. Not everyone may care about those differences though. You have to see the two cars with your own two eyes and then make the decision yourself.

Patrick, substitute "definite" for "night and day" an I would totally agree with you.

OK, there is definitely a night and day difference between SPF and ERA.

Night and day are by definition polar opposites. Within the genre of Cobra replicas, ERA and Superformance hardly represent the polar opposites of available choices.

No, to a blind man there is no difference at all between night and day. And to that same man, there would be little difference between an SPF and ERA.

Well don't go away mad.  My point was that night and day, just like SPF and ERA, are perceived differences. The difference between night and day is not that the light is there, but that you are able to see it. That's why I said in my earlier post "Not everyone may care about those differences." I don't think my posts could have been any more accurate and, after you reflect on it, you'll probably agree.

Aside from Patricks usual "comments", you will do well with either. For once he can actually add something to the discussion as he IS an ERA owner.
The ERA is a high quaility product when it leaves the factory and if assembled properly, makes a great car. You will not go wrong with one that is well built (and I sell Superformance). That said, the SPF is a consistant quality product and you will know what you are getting.
Both have good resale values and are sought after on the resale market.
Find what you like and drive the wheels off it.....................................

And there would definitely be no difference after that blind man wadded up either a SPF or ERA!
