Scott,

My personal opinion, if you can only afford an FFR, then go that route, wait for McBruce to finish his FIA body (should be available for purchase mid summer, or so I have been told). However, as a past (and future) owner of several FFR's, I can tell you that the fit of the body, the mechanicals used, and the chassis cannot be compared in an apples to apples, side by side comparison as they are two completely different concepts. Each has to be weighed on it's own merits, the least of which should be the $$$ spent initially. Why do I say that, quite simple, as 80% (that's right, 80%) of the owners of all FFR's built have far more than 20K into their builds. Unless your planning on a straight donor build (and can find a quality low mileage donor for less than $2,500), you are more likely to have 30K+ into your build. Take a look at the thread on ffcobra marked "finally totalled things up" and it will open your eyes.....Again I'm not saying to buy one over the other, just giving you another neutral viewpoint from someone who has been there countless times.

Hope you find this helpful.

Sincerely,

Bill S.
