Default What would I buy?

I am really, really happy with my car and would without hesitation do it all over again with ERA. The only thing that would possibly get me out of my ERA FIA would be a Kirkham Hybrid with a SS chassis.

See, I really became hooked on the small block FIA body when I was looking for cars, but I also really wanted a car with coil over suspension. At the time I felt the ERA FIA was the best, most accurate small block bodied car with coil spring suspension, and it is still certainly one of the best (IMHO.)

I have no interest in the Shelby FIA (or even a Kirkham FIA) cars with the transverse leaf spring suspension. I simply want a more refined car, but still want the small block body.

On the topic of CSX numbers, I can honestly say I don't care. I think the creme of the crop is any alloy bodied car (CSX, Kirkham), cause that's how the originals were built. I certainly have no desire for a fiberglass bodied CSX over my fiberglass ERA FIA or a Kirkham Hybrid. If Shelby produced a small block alloy bodied, coil sprung car it might interest me, but I would not pay a penny of premium over a Kirkham car to have a CSX number. So, Evan can add me to the short list of people that do not suffer from CSX envy. Alloy envy, yes. CSX envy, no (that is unless it's an original!)
