Obviously I was wrong but perception is reality. I can flip a SPF or a BDR three times faster than an ERA.

ERA owners keep talking about originality, SPF is the only car with Carol Shelby name on it!! Above you mentioned power steering, I am not experts but I do not think the originals had power steering or a jag rearend.
"SPF is the only car with Carol Shelby name on it" -- THAT is funny. I have seen plenty of ERA's with Carol signature on them.

Are you somehow related to Evan? This is the first time I have ever heard anyone compare ERA to being similar to a Factory Five build. Each company has a distinctly different means to the end product. Both companies are highly successful in what they do. Your comment clearly shows your research on the manufacturers was flawed.
