Think that's long? The deposit for ERA#773 is dated 12-11-07. Peter said rollers would take about a year, maybe a little longer. Rollers take longer than kits, and I ordered mine when the economy was still good, so I would imagine the lead time was out farther than Peter imagined.

I paid Tony Stefan the final bill for paint on 3-26-09, but no progress on the car until last month when I finally got a confirmation on the build spec.

Hopefully this is a sign that some progress will be made in the near future.

I have thought about looking elsewhere for a Cobra, but NOTHING compares to ERA. So I will continue to be patient. I trust Peter, he has a dedicated crew, and I know when the car finally arrives, it is going to be worth the wait.

Look at photos of the shop floor, and there isn't a square inch of space to put another car. No recession at ERA! I would imagine the economy has significantly reduced the lead time on rollers ordered now, compared when I ordered my car.

Dang. I love my ERA almost as much as I love my dog, but two and a half years might have me shopping in Provo.

Two and half years and I would have been shopping for a bridge to jump off of. Oh that's right, the Golden Gate is nearby.
