Do the ERA cars have the transverse front leaf spring like the originals or the inferior coil-overs? This thread has become a real pissing contest.

Well then I'll politely shut up. But I will mention to Jay that I think he would be shocked at how many people have examined my car and exclaimed "this is aluminum, isn't it?" even after running their hands under the lips, etc. I think for most car nuts (not just people) it is much more difficult than you would think to tell aluminum from plastic. I know, I know... you probably don't believe that, but it's true.

Not shocked at all, but they would say the same thing to a bunch of other "replicas" because they don't know... as they proved to you. You wanted a time machine and you got the full experience (aside from some significant telling features). Don't pretend it's at the top of the heap though

It sure has, I wonder what the original thread post must think of Cobra owners after he asked a few simple questions and had it blow up into what it has. Buy or build, big block or small block, one manufacturer over another is all a very personal choice that the thread starter must now decide on. I do wish him the very best regardless of which car/kit/manufacturer he chooses, why, simple, because when all is said and done we'll have another cobra owner on the forum.

Yours In Fords,

Bill S.
