In that case, it should also be noted that ERA's are also more accurate in appearance and stance than SPF's which are great cars in their own right with a consistent factory finish and a large, dedicated following of happy customers.

I've heard conflicting accounts of how well they fit taller drivers though, which is central to the OP's original question about EM, BDR and ERA.

If we're taking it upon ourselves to add other brands to the initial comparo, then I strongly suggest having a good look at Unique Motorcars - beautiful cars, original dimensions and one famous owner was close to 7 feet tall! Hurricane makes a nice replica as well.

... correctamundo buzz. And if the OP can't tell the difference, or just likes the difference, between an ERA and Factory Five, then he ought to go with a FF. He'll save a boat load of cash and I've seen FF cars that will outperform my FE equipped ERA, easily. Dang, if he went with a nice used FF over a new, turnkey ERA, he could probably save close to fifty grand.

Got no idea what could be a "conflicting" report unless somebody is trying to get in the trunk. I'm 6'2" and fit well, another 1" is not gonna change much. Only issue common to most of these cars is learning what to do with your left foot, not a huge issue.

Hadnt heard of Unique Motorsports ... will google them for sure ... thanks !

Ive seen many backdrafts in picture and on youtube only. And the look is fine. I am not one who requires the car to be identical to the orignial in every detail but I have always wanted one.

The favorite is backdraft because they Company reside in the state I live in. A three hour drive max
