[TerrysSPF]

Good choice Ray! .....but seriously, when you're choosing between 2 companies like SPF and ERA, you couldn't have made a "bad" choice. BOTH cars / companies are great and have great people working for them. You're in good company choosing the SPF though:

"When I think back on my racing career, the biggest thrills of my life were being involved with Shelby American, winning Le Mans with Dan Gurney in 1964 in the Daytona Coupe and being part of the Cobra team that won the World Championship in 1965. I am often asked what my favorite street Cobra would be - whether I would prefer the 289 or the 427 roadster. I don't really have to think about that - my favorite exist. It's the Superformance with a 351 engine. It is the car that Shelby SHOULD have built - a coil spring 427 chassis with a small block engine. And Superformance is the best of all replicas by far. I have one and at my driving school in Phoenix I often teach new Superformance owners how to drive them". - Bob Bondurant

"During the 60's I was developer and driver for John Willment Racing in England and I was part of the Cobra team that won the World Sports Car Championship in 1965. I worked very close with Jim Price, President of Superformance, during the development phase of the Superformance prototypes, in my view the finest replica of the finest road-going sports car ever created - so much so that I chose to become a Superformance dealer. When I sit behind the familiar instrument cluster and windscreen of this superbly detailed and authentic replica, its not difficult to figure out why I compared and eventually selected Superformance as the brand with which I prefer to be associated". - Bob Olthoff
