When I was looking I too was interested in the FFR. I liked the concept and what I thought would be a lower cost. I sat down one night at the FFR web site and added up all the options I wanted and the kit was going to be around 24K. Then I started asking guys who had built cars what they had spent. Most of the guys who had done top notch non donor builds (what I had in mind) were in them for high 30's to low 40's. Well that put me very close to used SPF prices which was a body shape I liked better anyway (not a big fan of the perky butt). I looked around for about 5 months and found a two year old SPF that was as close to perfect for me as I could have asked for and the one thing that was not "Perfect" has now actually grown on me and I won't change it. So I guess the point here is yes, FFR is a great car, but if you want a very nice one they are not as cheap as you might think.
