[MFE III]

I built a Gen 1 Hurricane and will second the earlier comments about authenticity, quality and completeness. From what I have seen, the Gen 2 Hurricane's have taken the authenticity and quality up even another notch. With the floor mounted pedals and redesigned foot boxes, in my opinion Hurricane is up there with ERA, Kirkham and CSX in terms of authenticity.
I absolutely loved building the car. The build manual was great and a very supportive and resourceful forum. The kit was very complete, far more than I expected, right down to rivets and even zip ties!
Although the real action and information on the Hurricane forum is only available on the Owners Only side (sometimes referred to the as Dark Side), I will say that the posting activity is far less than when I built my car 3 years ago. Like many owners, I check in very often and contribute where I can. But, maybe it's residual effects of the economy or it maybe generational, but there does seem to be less cobra replicas being built today. As far as forum activity, FF5 probably gets the edge.
I have a friend that recently completed a MkIV FF5 and that car, IMHO, has evolved into a very good and far more authentic replica. Admittedly biased, my vote goes to Hurricane now more than ever.
