Yep, if you want a new ERA you're going to have to wait. But, there are a lot of us out there that patiently waited a long time for our name to finally rise to the top of the list and continue to be very pleased that we did.

Panavia Sorry you feel that ERA was not responding to you. It takes about 1 year to get an ERA car. ERA cars are NOT MASS PRODUCTED, like some other in the market. ERA sells 80% of it's cars from word of mouth through thier customers. ERA has a 90 day waiting time even before your name is put in the system. This is even after you give your deposit to them. ERA is the standard that all other cobra replicas are measured. Quality, fit and finish, what special equipment you want in your car,( out board brakes for the rearend on a Jag rearend, power steering, any Ford motor and trans combo you want, supercharged with the correct twin setup). The list goes on. I'm not saying that the other companies can't do this. The resale value on an ERA is higher than any other car but a Shelby with a CSX number. ERA is only going to build about 1,200 cars total, that's it. GT-40 cars will be about the same number as the total built from Shelby. ERA completes about 3 cars a week total not 15-20 like other companies. If you poll 100 owners of ERA cars, that have waited the year to get there car, 99 out of 100 will say it was worth the wait and very happy about the final product. There are cars in the low 100 numbers that still look like they where just built. Good luck with your SPF car and the build. Rick L ERA owner and very happy.
