Excaliber Ernie I only answered to the challenge question. If you read my statement about not knowing JBL, I think this said it ALL. They build Cobras, RIGHT!! I hope it is the best that can be built. You said it is a byproduct, RIGHT! It's nice to Have your knowledge of JBL and how they do bussiness, I have seen others without this kind of professionalism. The point to be made is THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.. If JBL build 1 car a year and it runs, handles, stops and starts and the customer is happy with the car and is ADVISED to me careful thats the important thing. Maybe next year JBL will sell 30 cars? Do you know?? You say a modern chassic, Most cars are running a modern chassic. ERA went to a 1 shock rear for there cars and outboard brakes. Herb Adams built a mono chassic for VSE 8-10 years ago. Talented and remarkable people, Most Replica cobra companys have this, what is your point? Ernie I responded to his statement just like you to mine. Coyled Scott First I donot speak for ERA policies. Your right about ERA not needing this as for there product speaks for it self. Many times you read this ERA is compared to other companys, just like other engine builder. The great ones need no races, dyno pulls, best of show trophys to show they are on the top of there market John Morton and Boris Said are to great racers, they are also PAIDED to race most of the time and they know the risk. Your high media coverage is nice but cars break, accidents happen, some one could get killed for friend competition. What a black eye for the cobra industry .I race my car and know I could get hurt or destroy my car that took 5 years to build. I am not sell ERA cars, have no stock in them, have no support other than info on improving the car or updates to them. You can not say the same for manufacturers. Your right about on any given day any car can be the best or luckiest. To much of anything, friendly or other competition is not always good RicK Lake
