I contemplated Unique and FFR before I bought my latest kit. I made a spread sheet and compared the costs of comparably equipped BB cars.

With options and donor parts to match the completeness of the Unique, the FFR was about $2,000 less. I figured in the Tristates body to the cost of the FFR. The Tristates body is easily on par with the Unique body.

The Unique is obviously a well built car. I have never heard of a single person who was ever dissatisfied with their Unique.

The Unique does not have a round tube frame. This was a big deal to me.

The Unique comes mostly assembled. You take the body off for paint, wire it up, add engine and tranny and that's about it.

The FFR requires a lot of assembly. That was important to me. For me the build is the reason for getting a Cobra. The FFR lent itself for some custom work and modification to my taste.

The Unique uses a Jag IRS. Not that there is anything wrong with that. The FFR uses the Ford 8.8 from the T-bird.

The aluminum panels for the engine compartment will add $1,100 to the cost of the Unique. The locker diff upgrade will also add another $750.

Those were my observations that caused me to lean the way I did. Your needs/wants obviously differ. You are welcome to come look at my car even if you are not interested in buying it. The suspension is all bolted on and will give you a real good look at the design. I live just over the Skyway about 20 minutes.
