I looked at the SPF and inspected the prototype at Snakepit in LI real close and I think they have a couple of years to catch up in terms of development. Now maybe since it was the prototype, it was a bit rough but I had hoped the fit and finish would be at least close to my SPF Cobra. I'm also not too thrilled that they opted not to do the Mark I, which is infinitely a more graceful body style. ERA makes their GT sound almost unobtainable in terms of the wait and the $$.
I love my CAV, especially after doing what I thought the car needed to finish it off. Lower A arms modifications to correct the positioning and geometry of the rear wheels, and of course, a stack of 48IDA Webers; which I finally got to synch properly and figured out the right jetting formula. Takes a lot of fiddling with different jets but once done, they are so sweeet.
