You guys stop getting me in trouble!!! When my wife reads this, she is reminded that I sold her car!! We bought the SPF at a good price to where we knew that Jeannie could drive it in our Annual Texas cruise event and still sell it without taking a big beating.

Chap is correct. I loved my ERA and the experience I had building it. It took quite a while to get it but was very gradifying once it was completed. So much so, that I deceided to sell the ERA to build another one.

They are both great cars with their own unique qualities. I liked different things about each one and of course, had things that I would change on each.... BUT that was only subjective, personal tastes, for the items I would change on each car. You can't go wrong with either car.

One thing I can tell you... The ERA had a Shelby BB and the SPF had a crate 351. I could tell no difference in the nose weight while turning but I certainly would go with more power than a 385hp 351. A stroker 418 or BB aluminum motor will make you very happy.
