Superformance & ERA owners I need your help!

[Excaliber]

Oh I wouldn't call it a pissing contest, just another day at the office. No doubt I personally would go with Kirkham over ERA, PRICE being the major factor there.

But I'd rather walk than own some of the replica's I've seen, even if you gave me them for free.

I see Kirkham has recently adopted CV joint axles, I'm disappointed, another move toward modernization is better I guess. Sigh,,,

No question there IS a pecking order among the various manufacturers. All though some may adjust where any given one lands on the chart, most would agree to the basic premise. Shelby, Kirkham, ERA, oops, I mean SPF, uh oh...

That's why there should be another topic on the comparison, I don't think the price difference will be significant (at that level) once you factor in all the options of one brand and having them assemble it too.

Wow, with all of patrickt's hyperbole and chest pounding I was ready to put my car for sale on Cobra Country and get in line to get an ERA.

After all--according to patrickt--craftmanship on all CSX 4000s is shoddy, SPFs suck, and ERAs are clearly the best Cobra replica available.

How about just driving your car and enjoying it for what it is...that's what I do.

Don't worry, RodKnock's teaching me to be calm. Stentor -- you might add to that statement the potential danger that some of the changes that you see in Kirkhams are beginning to take them away from being a Cobra replica. They are quickly becoming "their own car." Some might like that, some might not.

Ah, yes...a replica that makes so many improvements over the original product that it becomes a completely different (better) car than the original--and therefore is no longer a good replica. I knew there had to be something wrong with Kirkhams, as well.
