My ERA sits low, but feels like a Highboy in comparison to sitting in the FT where you actually feel like your rear is almost touching the ground; the car is literally on a completely different level than a regular 427 car.
Indeed the car is completely different--right down to the leaf springs. Alas, we make dreams according to customer specifications.
