Peter P has long stated CCX cars were their primary competition. ERA has gained points from decades of continued business ie: revisions which if Burtis was not a golfer and more a car builder would have edone as well. Both CCX and ERA have made consessions in the past to cover a larger range of build parts and MFG ease. Example is ERA uses a larger trans tunnel to account for wide range of units, they have engineered a custom frame and they set up an easier to use pedal box.
Which is better? They both are..... Buy what you like and can afford to drive the worst thing is someone that buys one then leaves it home..
Buzz thanks for the footnote...
