ERA vs SPF

[Ray R]

I've searched the archives, and cannot seem to find the answer. After researching available replica manufacturers, I've narrowed my choice down to ERA or Superformance (427 replica).

Without starting flame wars, I'd like to know your opinions. It seems to me the ERA ends up being more expensive. I've also heard the ERA has a better fit and finish, although when I heard that opinion, the person could not give any specific details. The SPF info says the car has a "show quality finish". The ERA says "near show quality finish". I also know the wait for the ERA is quite a bit longer if you want a new one from the factory.

Resale for cars with FE engines seems to be pretty close from the ads I've seen, again, with ERA maybe being a bit more expensive.

Any comments about handling, build quality, parts availability, etc. would be appreciated.

If there is an old thread that goes into detail on this subject, please let me know what to search on!

If there's anyone in the Portland, OR area that have either of these cars that wouldn't mind showing them off, please send me an email note or post contact info.

Thanks in advance for your help!
