I will weigh in on this discussion having both a Kirkham and an FFR in the garage. Both are terrific in their own way.
I think what FFR does is fantastic. We built ours as my son's high school project car. They have great technical support and a phenomenal array of aftermarket product available through it's volume and shared DNA with the Mustang. We both learned a great deal as well as spent several years together in the garage. After we built it we spent several years refining it for sport street use as well as active campaigning in SCCA autocross. Max used the experience as the subject of his college essay, attended Stanford, and is about to start his third year of medical school. Eight years later the FFR still interests me, and it can turn top 10 times in the San Francisco region autocross.
The Kirkham is magnificent. Their workmanship is exceptional and the presence of the car is as amazing as any car I have ever owned. The Kirkham is more serious, and you would think twice before going 10/10ths through set of cones, or experimenting with it casually.
They are horses for courses, as the British say. I strongly recommend one of each.
