ERA Owners- Time to Nitpick!

[cobraviper_99]

I am the original owner of jagxjr5012's ERA #208. It's a factory-built car which I took delivery of on Christmas Eve, 1988. I concur completely with him and the other ERA owners who have praised Peter and everyone at ERA. The entire purchase and construction process was outstanding and they were always available and responsive to any difficulties.

I think the best endorsement for them was when I had a problem with the 428 they had provided for the car. It was supposed to be a balanced and blueprinted engine but over a year after I had taken delivery, a friend who was working on the car discovered that the engine work was slipshod to say the least--including a crankshaft which looked like it had been balanced by PeeWee Herman ( I won't reveal the engine-builder's name here). I called Peter, told him what had been found and he said to bring the crankshaft down to him (luckily, I live in Massachusetts, about three hours away from him).

I drove down with the crank, he took a look at it, and told me to have my engine gone through at his expense. It was a couple of grand but Peter was good to his word and paid the tab promptly. Mind you, this was over a year after I took delivery of the car.

Just an example of why ERA sells so many cars and people are willing to wait a bit longer to have one. I constantly tell people who ask me about my CSX and can't spend that much that they should talk to ERA.

Downside? Yeh, the funky driver's side parking light that's tilted down a little. Maybe that's been corrected by now.
