Default ERA Cobras in general

Hello Dallas. I am the owner of the black ERA 675 that's for sale. As it's been said before, for some it's driving the car, for some it's building the car, for some it's both. I'm more the builder type.

My advise is regadless of what brand you buy, buy the best that you can afford, wait until you can buy a top quality car, don't go cheap. Don't over do it on the horsepower, these cars are crazy fast with modest mills. I would suggest a moderately twiked big block to a streched out small block for a street car, as the big block will provide plenty of street friendly torque and a top speed that will blure your eyes. I think that the small block makes a better racing engine due to weight bias and quicker rpm's between corners.

Finally, I would check with Curt Scott at Cobra Country to see if he is still publishing the Cobra buyer's guide. It gives a great overview of the twenty top brands. If you have any questions or need any advise my phone number is in the ad for ERA 675. - Tom
