What a comedy.
First the thread starts over the belief that someone is actually bidding $70,000.00 for a run of the mill FFR.
People here in general find the "bidder" to be in need of a good analyst.
FFR "folks" appear and indignantly challenge those who appear to "question" the sanity of the "bidder" and the utter insanity of paying $70,000 for a FFR and call or refer to those of us finding it hysterical that some putz is willing to pay $70,000 for a $20,000 car as being "elitest".
FFR "folks" have a documented history of bashing other brands and especially rabid as to Shelby's new CSX Cobra questioning and challenging their status as REAL Cobras and their value and sale price by SAI. Some of those people laughed at CSXs being offered for sale at and their buyers refered to as pigeons. Yet multiple CSX's have been actually sold for $160K+.
But some of these FFR "folks" now apparently want us to believe at it is apparently possible for a FFR to sell for $70K.
Then comes the "crushing" news that the "bidder made a mistake" and meant to only bid $20K.
What a scream!
While I like FFR's if done correctly and think they are a good product for the money they are not on the same level as some others.
Like it or not a FFR is not in the same category as a Unique, SPF, ERA, Contemporary, Midstates, Arntz, Butler etc.. It just ain't. Period. Like it or not there is a pecking order. If you want to be at the top, you ain't gonna be there in a FFR. And I AM NOT SAYING THE FFR IS NOT A GOOD CAR. IT JUST IS NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE OTHERS IMHO.
I'm not being an elitest. I'm just stating the facts. Just like there ain't no such thing as a standard build FFR with a 460BB worth $70K.
All that being said I plan of having a FFR spec racer some say for track work when I have the time.
