Superformance vs Contemporary

[CobraMike]

Hello,

Thanks for your reply, that's what I'm looking for ! I purchased the original contemporary car because it was a good deal...only to find the motor wasn't assembled properly and lost oil pressure a few days after I'd got it running.

I'm gonna try to find some good pics of the originals and see if I can see what you mean. Thanks again for your thoughts and all the replies.

I'm gonna take my time this go around and spend a bit more if needed to get it right the first time. After waiting all my life to get one, then getting one, then having it break....the time it took to get the motor rebuilt was agony that I cannot describe.

cheers
Mike

Here is my Perky Butt:



As I stated, as did you, Look at old ERA's as they too have the space issue which benefit from time and revisional changes. CCX are correct for S/C body as they are off CSX3045 while ERA was patterned after CSX3252 a street car with wider rear lowers and no S/C lip. This is a debate that can go on and on! Not all 3000 cars are the same as they were hand built and changed with time.

CSX3035 an S/C = http://www.csx427sc.citymax.com/albu...26/3402785.htm
Tighter wheel opening and tighter ass than street cars.....

Check out this SPF car, I saw it this summer in Santa Barbara, beautiful and very well built. I was very impressed with the way they make their cars, solid. It was posted in the for sale section today.

I've seen several very nice Contemporary cars and never noticed the "Perky butt" referred to. Obviously, if the car may be set up to each owner's preference but I've never seen one with a stance other than shown above- which I really like and I know is very accurate to the original CSX cars.
The CCX cars I've checked out were very, very solid in feel - though I've never personally driven one.
The Superformance cars I've seen are also very nice and have a high level of fit and finish, however something about the body just doesn't seem to match up to the originals quite right. When touching and prodding, I've never felt they were as solid as the CCX cars- probably due to the thickness of the CCX body layup.

Either one is a very nice car as is the ERA, but the CCX is about the best deal going these days if you find a nice one.
Just my 2 peso's worth.

First let me say I do not have any first hand exp. with any of these as an owner, other than I have had a chance to drive both an ERA and a SPF but every time I see an ERA I Dont kown what does it but I just go crazy for the shape of the body. It just looks so RIGHT.
