I dont what to sound dumb hear but, Im being told that this is a 98'' wheel base and not a 90'' there is two different length cars a 90 and a 98. Im looking for how long it is
From bumper to bumper. I have a two car garage that one side is 15 and the other side is 25 feet and I would like to park it on the 15 foot side. That is why I need to know this.

if the kit you are looking at has a 98" wb it is probably a cobraette(sp?) which is a cobra style body on a corvette chassis.
An original Cobra and most replicas have a 90" WB and there are other variations with 92" 94" and 96" WB.
Here is a link to ERA's specifications.

These should be pretty accurate |

Original cars have a 90 inch wheel base. Our cars are 12 1/2 feet long...just like an original. Now, That doesn't count the jack hooks or bumpers, so it will be a little longer. 13 feet sounds about right.
(Why did I measure them without jack hooks? Because I had to figure out how many I could stuff into a container!)
Knowing Ron, he has it measured his car down to the nearest nanometer...

David,
Ron has measured it to the 100 thousandths, better than you guys and you old computer scanning did, but he won't post it so we will all know, LOL.

CMM, co-ordinate measuring machine. Like they measure (check) Indy cars etc.
Isn't it how "short" is a chinaman......
and how long is a piece of string?
Anyone wanna talk about suspension dimensions?

Andrew "Dice" Clay, to an Asian tailor: "I need a jacket, 42 long." Asian tailor hears "40 too long", and says to Dice: "38?" Dice, (getting more and more exasperated as the bit goes on) says "NO! 42 LONG!"....................................I guess you have to hear Dice say it..............It really is funny!......Really!
