Ray,

I think both are nice cars. You would probably be happy with either. For me the SPF seemed like a better deal all the way around. The car comes complete. That's it, drop in the drivetrain of your choice and off you go. Extremely high quality in every aspect. As others have mentioned, VERY nice finish. Everything looks authentic from the outside, the attention to detail is amazing in this regard. From a performance standpoint it's a great choice too. You get Willwood brakes with big vented rotors, Billstein shocks, IRS, all standard. I think if you were to put all those things into an ERA you probably would end up spending more money. The other issue I was concerned about was the Quality and consistency of the assembly. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't think that can happen with an ERA it's just that with the SPF it was a no brainer. Everything done in the same factory the same way every time with consistent quality control in place. Also great factory and dealer support as well as a great owners group. The proof is in the pudding though. Go look at them and drive them. There are several SPF dealers around and most of them take their cars out to events, if a dealer isn't convenient for you.
