Thanks for the info so far. A few of the comments lead me to another question. I was always under the impression that both were molded from originals. "IF" that is the case, why would the ERA look more like an original than the Contemporary?
I have talked to Peter before and I know quite a few ERA drivers. I know he has great support but at the moment that isn't going to sway me one way or the other. I built my EM from the ground up and have helped build a few other brands so I'm pretty comfortable around snakes.
I'm looking at buying a completed car this time around. I will however to some modifications so that it suits my taste. I can get my build fix helping my brother work on his cobra.
