The thread is specifically about SPF vs ERA, this is the perfect format for this discussion, I think.

Interesting note, Jay, about the price difference, I've never looked at closely enough to consider what kind of difference their might be. I WOULD say though that both cars need to have similiar specs. Side oiler vs side oiler for instance. A 385 vs 427 is just not a valid comparison, for instance.

In such a discussion of comparison between two manufacturers it is logical to also introduce, on a limited basis, other manufacturers for a better over all picture. Strangely, I don't see the "pissing contest" aspect of this thread...
