ASO544 -- pop your deposit check in the mail today. You can always get it back if you change your mind, but reserving your place in line won't start until Peter sees your money. With a little luck, you'll be driving it Summer 2017.

Gonna call Pete on Monday and get a quote together. Im actually hovering on the ERA or going the extra coin and try and find an CSX 4000/6000. No doubt the ERA is a superior build but the CSX has the potential to keep appreciating which has an added benefit. I realize the Shelby is a Superformance with a $40K CSX tag added to it and the ERAs build quality and attention to detail plus having it built to my spec is my real draw towards it.

Once I get my final price on the ERA I'll have a a better idea which way I'll go. Thanks for all the information as its been extremely helpful.

If you go to the trouble of having an ERA custom made to your exact likings, like I did, it is doubtful that you will ever sell it (absent running in to hard economic times).

Let's not go down that path again. Please do some research.

A counter thought, when the current craftsmen at ERA go into retirement, or sadly pass, how much do you expect ERAs will appreciate?

Buy the product that YOU believe is best, not what you believe others think may, or may not appreciate. I reckon you'll enjoy it more, and it will bring you a better return in the end. Just my humble opinion.
