Hey rem,
I've found that most of these folks around here don't look down at the FFR; however, there are some folks that pref. cars that are closer to home (SAI)...and there's nothing wrong with that either (It is a great topic that's very broad in opinion and interpretation...).
HOWEVER, you stated that you will spend up to $50k.
If you want the most for your money: you should call Paul, at 609-744-2813, and get a completed CSX-4000 series roller ($39K=painted, assembled, READY TO GO LESS ENGINE, TRANNY, DRIVE SHAFT!) and have a car that will more than likely justify the expense of the big motor.
BTW, 427-center oiler at Southern Automotive w/Cobra type goodies...$4500!
I myself...FFR...I'm in a position to complete a no donor, 3-link car for around $25K. And that includes paint by J. Miller.
To each his own; but when the $ get pushed up to $50k...you should probably keep company with the cars that will deliver a value in-kind with your investment.
Best of luck,
Build what makes YOU happy,
Manny
