CRZN427,

My first FFR weighed in at 2382lbs with a full tank of gas. 351W/385hp Ford crate engine with aluminum heads, blow proof bellhousing, T5 transmission.coil overs, 8.8 3:55 geared rear end, heater, wipers, convertible top (in trunk).

My Contemporary weighs in at 2465lbs with a full tank of gas (18 gallons worth), 427 center oiler, blowproof bellhousing, toploader 4spd,coil overs, and jag rear, heater, wipers, convertible top in trunk.

The Contemporary has a more solid feel than the FFR, the cowl/windshield shake is not an issue with the Contemporary, where the FFR was terrible under NYC pothole, or railroad crossing, etc type conditions...


Granted, my first FFR had a solid rear, and the Contemporary has the Jag independant rear, but we'll see when I build my next FFR (did you think I wouldn't)with the IRS, so I can do an Apples to Apples comparison of the two...........Only time will tell.............


Yours in Fords,

Bill S.
