Cool

The pricing comments are not even considered elitest. What they are considered are the facts. Supply vs demand is what drives pricing for one brand over another, or even one car over another in the same brand. I sold both of my FFR's in the mid 30's, does this mean that any other FFR could sell for that, yes, and no. it will all depend on the quality, and the details of one particular car. Use a base FFR build (donor, no options), then compare it to your own build/car. Then take your own, and compare it to another brand for which you feel the owners may be looking down at you (there are plenty of high dollar cars out there built poorly by the way, many others which are of a higher build standard than the best FFR built in the world, but, you cannot compare one to the other, only judge your car against yourself)....If you cannot tell the differences, you need to go out and educate yourself a bit more on the world of kit Cobras. If anyone has been having an elitist attitude lately, it is some of the folks who still own FFR's...................Perhaps that is one reason why I did not get a third FFR, as I am tired of the elitest mentality of some of the owners......We are all in the kit car world together, why do we need to pit one group against another to make ourselves feel better about our own personal decisions and choices in life. When is enough, enough.........

The comments about the elevated price are no biggie.

The relative pricing comments comparing makes is not cool and comes off as elitest.
