C'mon, name 'em and let's see some statistics on whether it's parts falling off of owner-built kits or big inch motors in 90" wheelbase cars that are causing most of the problems.

OK, sounds like I hit a chord... You must be a FFR owner, and good for you. Well put you bravado back in you panties and relax, I am not looking to single any ONE person out with any comment! The claimed problems were from inferior parts, poor workmanship, doner parts from old tired Mustang, etc, etc..... The larger CID engines were not introduced into the conversation.. Per the insurance reps, FFR cars were ahead of all the others in reported claims....


I will not mention the name of the insurance company, so don't ask me too... I feel it would be wrong to mention names when I was clearly asked not too. The person(s) I spoke with in said conversation did not quote specs, nor did I ask for any. I merely engaged in a mild conversation regarding the insurability of replica Cobra's in general. I am NOT pointing fingers at any one person, person's or any company!! The fact of the matter is that the build quality of ANY "KIT" car can and will vary dramatically from one builder to the next. Not everyone who buys and builds a "KIT" car is a genius! Some folks should just stay driving Hybrids and not ever lift the hood of a car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you require more information, YOU can simply do some homework on you own. I merely brought the subject of my conversation to light and will comment no further on it.

PS. This should be fun to watch..................
