Snob??? I'll take it. I've been called worse around here.

I'm not doin the research. You do it. Your the one defending the sanity of a $70K FFR. Show me the FFR cars that sold for more than $40K. Well?

Is that what the FFR groupies call the new Shelby Cobras now, "Copies"? Must make them feel better. Must be the new rage for the FFR guys.

Put a FFR next to a Shelby Cobra at a show! Never! Who would ever want to do that?

So your standard is to put a FFR next to a CSX at a show and have the "people" prove you can't tell the difference. Maybe at the "Lions Club Harley and Hot Rod Show" in some po dunk town. When people don't know what there looking at your probably right. In fact you'd need a show where people don't know what there looking at in order for people not to be able to tell the difference. Yup. Equal ground for both cars. Must be another FFR strategy.

Try a SAAC show and see if that works. NOT!

Again, I'm not saying the FFR isn't nice or is bad. But there is a CLEAR and IMMEDIATE difference between the two.

Most performance differences on the track assuming equaly prepared cars and capable cars is generated by the driver. This is fact. You want to show me your perky butt? No thanks. I'm sure your FFR is very fast. I'm impressed. But I'm not a "pretend racer" and don't pretend to be qualified to take a 500hp, 2500lb car to the limit. I'll watch you take yours there though. I have no interest risking damage to my Shelby so you can try to "prove" how FFR's are faster. Find someone with a Shelby Challenge car or something will ya. I'm a lover not a racer.


Face it FFRs are at the bottom of the food chain when compared to ERA's, SPFs, Uniques, Midstates, Contemporarys, Hi Techs. That doesn't mean there not nice cars (and can be awesome) or not a nice product, they are. Thats IMHO.

Question. Would you say a FFR is superior to a Street Beasts replica? Why or why not? I would. Just wondering.
