TimG427,
Thank you for the compliments.
I chose the ffr spec racer for it's strong chassis and because it was the only cobra kit direct from the factory that was homologated to race in SCCA and NASA. It meets all the safety requirements for those organizations. I had originally wanted an Unique or ERA FIA kit, but they required a great deal more modification to make them pass the safety regulations to race and they cost a great deal more than the ffr kit, so that is why I went with the ffr spec racer.
I hadn't thought about it looking like a combination of old and new, but you're right it does.
Regards,
Terry
