Captain...I seldom fall into baited posts like yours which knock fellow Cobra replica cars so profoundly.
I tried to e-mail you privately but you do not accept e-mails.
I log on to CC less lately because , as I had recently stated in another thread , discussions seem to deteriorate like this one. For many years this forum was a fun place to exchange , share ideas and learn about our common interest in Cobras...of all types and price ranges. I logged on tonight to promote a local cruise in our area........loved reading your opinions ..which by the way is just that.....your opinion. !!!

I am down at the SPF Snakepit every Saturday. I have many good friends there. I own an FFR. For you to make that statement is absurd. I know the Outlaw FFR . I know the Outlaw shop. You are full of baloney. He modifed the frame NOT because of weakness at all. The FFR tube frame is solid.
I have seen FFR frames lift the front wheels , track straight and drive home with no consequence. Outlaw is a Hot Rod/Street Rod builder who produces high end Hot Rods . He builds
Pro- Street rods from the ground up that cost more than many Cobra replicas...including yours. He built one FFR with high end custom Hot Rod mods for which he thought he could ask 50K . Not 60K. 50K. I have seen that FFR at Oultaw's street rod Shop. He also had his car out and cruised with us from the SPF Snakepit one Saturday. He never knocked FFR to me or anyone he spoke to. Nobody is knocking down the door at Oultaw for his custom modified FFR Cobra despite his 550HP shop built 392 stroker with custom cam grind, plus NOS, custom hand made mandrel bent headers, fully custom brake system from dual masters to the discs, custom fuel rails, polished everything, custom rear end , custom front suspension .......It has been a year since I saw that car so I actually forgot many of the quality hot rod and shop machined parts plus labor work put into that car.....forget it ..perhaps you do not even understand my point.

I would like to meet you so you can show me all the things you so confidently profess as true. BTW I have e-mail.
If you had e-mail I would not post this thread.
It is just that I am rather shocked you live in this NY area and could make such an unconditional statement . SPF makes a fine replica. But your statement makes me wonder who made you Captain.

We are all going to the track next week .
That would be July 19th...Saturday.
We will all be there with our SPF's, Uniques, ERA's, CSX,
Classic Roadsters and a few others.... Like my Emerson.
Why don't you join us ??
I am Jim with the Blue FFR.
