I also have a FFR car as well. I do love it, and liked the frame, chassis and body design work out, no other car like it for any price.
At this time it has a 5.0 with 5 speed BW. Looking into supercharger, roller heads, and some work on the injection system (want around 500 hp).
The car is to be repainted in a silver (Titanium color), with dark blue stripes.
The car is a fine cornering car and has seen service in some SSA events, more planed.

Complaints: I don't like the fit of the doors. Will try and correct this with some sanding and glass work when the new paint man gets his hands on it. I also plan on replacing some other parts as well, such as the boot, and bonnet. (I think the newer ones are better). However, after a call to FF I was told I'm stuck with the doors as the new kit will not fit.
The new kit I think would be better as the frame will fit a big block (but you don't need it for speed and power these days). Also the doors and other parts fit better I'm told.
I don't care for the service from FF after market. I placed an order for windwings only to find it took 3 weeks! When I called the only thing they could say was that "well, perhaps there were other orders ahead of yours". Come on guys! I placed orders from other suppliers after that date and got them sooner! However having said that they are helpful when you call and ask stupid questions. So, like life FFR is not perfect. I would recommend them to anyone as I do not think even a Superperformace car is of the same caliber after having looked at both and could afford either. (I did not build mine, I bought it all running and ready).
