I'm not sure a ride in an SPF vs ERA is going to reveal a lot, or be different enough to be a determining factor. #1 you have to consider potential difference in engines AND gear ratio's. Which can vary widely for any replica and makes a HUGE difference in over all driveability, feel and soul.

Now a lot of ERA's follow the same basic recipe, FE with a top loader and 3:31 rear gear. There fairly consistent in that regard. SPF's are all ove the map! Small block, big block, 5 speed (with widely varying gear ratios), four speed. Because the RIDE itself is going to be similiar the variance is going to be about how the individual setup of motor, trans, rear gear ratio, cam profile and carb setup work together. That kind of "feel" for the ride can really only be done by actually driving the car yourself for many miles under different conditions. Something that is not likely going to happen.

I have, in my mind, what I consider to be the "perfect" setup for specs for a STREET and occasional track car. My current car does not meet those exacting specifications, but it's close enough. Which is almost ALWAYS the case, perfection is a very illusive prize, if you come close to your ideal, you done good!
