Cool

Having owned not one, but two FFR's, and now owning a non FFR (sort of kind of still related, but that is a whole other story), I can tell you that there is a difference in the quality of each build, and each kit. Fit and finish, quality of workmanship, and attention to detail all play a factor in each kit car built. be it a proffesionally built car, or something built on a shoe-string budget, and no garage......................

The new generation FFR with the new bodys, frames and adjustable control arms and a few other things has really no comparison to the 4-5 year old FFRS you guys like to bash. Its all about intrinsic value .
Ive seen many many FFRS that kick ass on some ERA/ Unique builds and Vice versa
A 70K FFR probably not ... but what makes your 38K ERA or whatever brand worth anymore than a well built 2nd generation big block IRS FFR with all the goodies?......beside a built in price premium that was paid for say a Unique kit for the name ?

Ranting aside I really love "All" Cobra replicas no brands withstanding .
