Gee....maybe it is because FFR is around a thousand miles away I was hoping the DSCC wouldn't become biased against FFR like the whole of Club Cobra is. I am very happy with my FFR. I built it, I am happy with it. I have ridden in a great Unique (Jerry Rowleys') and was way impressed. I guess like Joe said, "like all of the Cobras out there, you get out of them what you put in to them."
I am not biased against FFR Cobras. An opinion question was asked, and
I gave my opinion. Do I think there are higher quality cars than the FFR?
Sure. I also think that there are higher quality cars out there than my own
brand of replica! I own a Midstates, I think that the Unique, ERA, Superformace, and
Kirkham, cars ALL hold an edge to the quality of my Cobra. I have seen some excellent FFRs that I would proud to own....I've also seen some dogs of every other marque out there. I viewed a brand new CSX last year that had a Shelby "factory" paint job on it that looked like a Macco 199.00 special. (The new owner had been hornswaggled to say the least.)
Again, you get out what you put in to the machine. I was on a budget too,
that's why I purchased a partially completed car. I figure my total cost to
finish up was about what a guy would spend on a sharp FFR, and I'm happy
with my machine. Are there nicer Cobras than mine? Yes. Are there
Cobras that I feel are not as nice ? Maybe....
I think you'll find that the DSCC welcomes all marques of cars, and I'm
biased, on this....I think we prove it in our membership. You name 'em,
and we've got 'em! Please...don't think the DSCC has an axe to grind
against FFR, or any type of Cobra. All are welcome, and I think that I can
say that for everyone that I've met at ANY DSCC function.
