2. I am picky about what color the car is, stance, and even how it sounds. I want a car that, even when it's not in motion, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. (I want that lumpity-lumpity sound that a big cam makes.)
3. I have been researching other manufacturers: Unique, Backdraft, SPF... but my preference is ERA for all the reasons mentioned on this forum.
While I shop and wait for a Z06 Vette I'm selling to clear a space in my garage, I'm learning a ton about these cars on this forum. Wow, what a tremendous resource this forum has been. So. Much. To. Learn.

The more I read, the more I wanted an FIA. I started right where you are. FIA cars with WEBERS have a very distinct & exhilarating sound, as well. They are more rare & have a very rich race history. 427 cars have that rumble but.... Webers have that Sports Car racing sound. Wicked
