First off, yes Dick I did sell my Falcon to a friend of mine in Marble Falls, Texas. As a matter of fact he went to his first CVAR driver's school last weekend. He has really enjoyed the car and got a "great deal" on it.
Differences between the FFR and FFR Spec Racer
1. The Spec Racer has an SCCA legal roll cage installed instead of a single driver side hoop. Also NASCAR type side door bars on both sides of the car. It also has front tubing running into the engine compartment for safety and stength.
2. It uses a 3-bar link set up with a panhard rod for rear end location along with coil over shocks.
3. It has a 15 gallon Fuel Safe Fuel Cell instead of the stock Mustang gas tank.
4. The doors are either fastened on are glassed in as they do not work because of the roll cage.
5. The rules require that we run a stock 302 fuel injection 1987-1993 Mustang engine with a stock ratio T-5 or Tremac 3550 transmission and a stock 8.8 Mustang 2.73 rear end. Also we must run Mustang Cobra R 17 x 9" mags with Kuhmo Victoracer 275/40 x 17 tires.
6. The Spec Racer can have 1 racing seat or 1 racing seat and 1 passengers seat. Also 5 point competition safety harnesses.
7. We run a racing windscreen and front spoiler to keep the front end on the ground at over 120 MPH.
There are other subtle differences but these are the main ones.
Hope that answers most of your questions.
