Tom,

They are both fine machines, you'll be happy with either. I looked at both myself, almost went for Superformance, but chose ERA for the following reasons:

1) I preferred the chassis design
2) Fit and Finish was better
3) ERA has been making them for 20+ years
4) You deal directly with the manufacturer
5) Best company I've ever dealt with

Hal is absolutely right - each person has their own ideal Cobra. Look at what each offers and pick what best suits you.

Keep in mind these cars are very light - it doesn't take a firebreather to have way too much fun. With 320HP (7.5lbs/HP) I have more than I have the skill to use.

The tradeoffs tend to be things like fixed axle vs. IRS, body and fittings. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with any of them, just different focus.

Enjoy your Cobra journey.

BTW, if the NEPA part of your sig is North East PA, I'd be glad to take for a spin.
