As far as I know, there's no dispute in/on Club Cobra that ERA is an awesome product, but to state that it's the most modern and best engineered Cobra on the market is arguable and you do say that it's your opinion. I know that many of the Cobra companies such as SPF, FFR and Kirkham have changed their product over time to make their cars better. I know the Kirkham better than the others, since I own one, and I know the Kirkhams have continually made improvements to their car including making it the lightest on the market. I think, but I'm not 100% sure. Based on a thread by Joe at Kirkham, the latest Kirkham's with an aluminum FE are about 2,150 lbs. I have no idea what a ERA weighs, but I'm guessing that it's about 300-500 lbs heavier. That extra weight may buy you higher frame rigidity, but at the expense of a heavier car.
