I looked at FFR before I bought a Lone Star kit, that would be 10 years ago.

I like the FFR round tube frame and 2100 - 2200 lb weight.The last time I weighted my LS it was 2315 lbs. I run a small block fuel injected motor and a TKO 600 with a 8.8 rear end.

I like the Lone Star 94" wheel base with the extra 4" inside the interior. I wanted a Cobra that I could travel in and have a place behind the seats to store stuff.

I like the interior and trunk tubs molded to the body to minimize the air and water leaks in the Lone Star. When you drive on 100 plus mile trips you will get rained on.

I have help built FFRs, Shell Valleys, a Hurricane, my Lone Star and worked on Everret Morrisons, Uniques and a Shamrock. Maybe some others??? Drove most of them. They each drive a little different but not that much.

Each kit has their good points. I think you need to look at what you want in a kit and pick the one that fits your needs.

It does not matter which one you build, they are all beautiful and fast.
