Hello Renman,

I won a FFR Daytona Coupe at the DVSF II June a year ago, I sat on the car until I decided to have it built and the construction started November a year ago. The car is now built and ready for prime time.

It has a 351 Windsor stroked to 418 with an eight down stack intake manifold, spark and fuel injection, Tremec TKO 5- speed into an SVO rear end with 3.55 gears, 540HP @ 5400 RPM and 578 lb. ft. torque @4400 RPM...Dyno figures at the tail shaft. (engine pictures in my photos)

The car and all the details will be on the forum soon but, here is a link that has pictures of Bill Hough's FFR Daytona that is just beautiful.

FFR has sold 150+ of their kits now and I would estimate that there are about 40 of them on the road. I have not driven one yet but, have sat in the FFR rendition numerous times , it is 13% bigger in all dimensions from the original cars and that equates to 5" in wheelbase and all of the proportions for the rest of the car are changed.

When I have the Coupe here and driven it a bit I will be posting impressions and a Club Photo link that will have a lot of pictures. In between time if you go to the FFcobra web site there are numerous albums, pictures and discussions about the Coupe that will give you a huge amount of information.
