Look, I'm the first one to agree with the ERA/BDR/SPF comparison -- there's no doubt about that. But the truth of the matter is that there are a whole lot of SPF and BDR owners out there that never even heard of ERA. They don't have the slightest appreciation for the differences and, frankly, ERA doesn't put much effort in to educating the pool of potential Cobra buyers. They don't have to -- there's a hefty line of guys waiting to have their's custom made to their liking. All of that though conspires against Bill. Bill has to compete against cars that are not on an equal plane, but the prospective purchasers don't know that. It makes for a tough sell. |
