FFR calls their version the"Challenge" car. At $14.9K it just about half the cost of a comparable race only BDR.

Challenge cars have been dominant in racing classes across the country for more than 7 years. Ford Racing selected a Challenge car to serve as one of the 2006 Champ Car “Fast Laps” car. Challenge cars have earned top spots in local and national level SCCA and NASA roadracing series.

Strangely, you don't see FFR reps on Club Cobra much promoting their race car and it's impressive list of win's. Street cars are their bread and butter, their race record speaks for itself.
At a recent Auto Cross event here in Oregon I watched a licensed STREET FFR run against this custom V8 powered Lotus 7 like car: The V8 Lotus turned the fastest time of the day, 1.01. The FFR? 1.03!!! I was blown away that the FFR, in STREET TRIM was even able to challenge the V8 Lotus. A very impressive run. Both drivers were very experienced and very good. The FFR is an early Mark 1, typical street car, 351 with a carb, T5, DOT tires, license plate. It was NOT even a "Challenge" race car!!
