Since they seemed comparable I was leaning towards lone star.

I'm in bucks county just north of Philly.

I'll go back and look at the factory five kits again, it's been a little while now.
95% of the negatives you will find about the Factory Five cars are several years, and several generations back from their current offering. The new MK IV is a wonderfully designed (drastically redesigned from earlier FFR roadster offerings) and laid out kit, you would be hard pressed to compare them from the earlier versions to now. personally, I have owned 17 FFR's to date (yes, it's a disease ), will own more down the road when I get bored with my current ERA project........

Good Luck, Bill Bess (Hurricane owner)

I will second this, they do build a quality car, but not a lot of them on the road nearby to view, which has always seemed to be the issue with me remembering that they are around
