ERA pays a lot of attention to the surface stuff to make sure it's visually correct to just about every detail - even the asymmetry in the body. That includes the cockpit. Under the skin they deviate considerably from original frame configuration but they are very, very well engineered and stiff. Once mounted there isn't any part of the body that will move with hand pressure except maybe the lower, rear fender roll under area a little. The chassis seems very stiff but the suspension is compliant and comfortable - the car just feels solid and well-engineered.

And a KMP is probably about another $40 or 50K (painted) over an ERA. A KMP is probably about the only thing I might consider giving up my ERA for.
