Unhappy Curt Scott

Has anyone read the "Complete Guide to Cobra Replicas"? A fellow by the name of Curt Scott had a two page article in it saying some really bad things about Factory Five. I was just wondering why he has it out for FF and why he would have attacked them like he did... He also stated that FF would no longer be in the "guide" like other manufacturers.
Anyone have any input on this???

Exclamation

Chip, very old news. bad blood between FFR and Curt go back many years now. No reason to rehash. Just do a search on the subject in the archives.

MrMustang gave some solid advice.

"Back in the day" when Curt wrote the book (and yes MANY in here have read/seen it) I think he might have been justified in his analysis. All though I don't think it's a "great" book, it is certainly a good place to start your research of replicas in general.

That was then, this is now. Some equally harsh things could have been said of several manufactuers at some point in the development. Perhaps Curts observation helped FFR to become the much better product it is today?

I have to agree completely on this opinion.
