I am not bashing any brands, not even FFR. Have I said anything to indicate that "FFR's suck" ?

The frame looks very similar and is in overall design. But the collection of parts they use: 302, T-5, 8.8" rear, their brakes, front suspension, bolt-on wheels, etc; is pure late model mustang.

Whereas a SAI or Kirkham is all original in design.

Which is better, I didn't say. Depends on what you want to do with it. I like many kit-car cobras, home built and factory assembled. I really like SPF cars, they are a joy to work on. Not original in any way other than external appearance.

But lets not discount the difference between a replicas that replicates every aspect of the original as closely as possible, to a similar kit-car that replicates the look, and fills in the details with parts that function just fine but are not original at all (late model mustang parts).
