Thanks.
ERA: Hand built, extremely accurate reproduction (except for the frame and suspension), highest quality. Takes for ever to have one built, not alot on the used market, and not usually a lot of them at most club events.
Superformance: semi-factory built, minor deviations from original (as with the ERA considerable difference in the frame and suspension), also highest quality. typically shorter lead time than the ERA, readily available on the used market, and one the more frequently seen models at most club events (Particularly on the west Coast).
See if you can get somebody to give you a ride in each, or better yet let you drive it and buy the one you like the best. You can't go wrong with either car.
