I’ve been seriously considering a MK IV kit so I took a surf over to the web site and priced out what I want for the kit in the way of options it came to about 25K.
After that I started adding the price of the engine and trans plus tires, Now I’m
At about 37K with a 10K engine and a 2K trans. I haven’t even added body and paint.
I figure that if I do the work myself it will still cost 2K just for primer, paint, sandpaper, and filler stuff. Now I’m just barely south of 40K.
I think FFR is a fine kit. I just don’t see why they sell for far less used than many others that Ain’t even close in engineering.
Yeah, I know you can build it for a bit less with a live axle and vinyl interior and other downgrades but the honest truth is that rarely happens. I guess if I stuck In a 4K crate motor and bought a used tranny that would also lower the price. If I did that then it only takes about 7K off. I’m still north of 30K
The funny part of this is I checked other sites out too and was trying real hard to compare Apples to apples. They all were within 2K or less of each other.
I do believe you get way more support from FFR because of the Way the company is run. They seem to care about all their customers and that means loads when considering a kit.
I don’t think one person can point to one reason why the FFR is considered an economy kit.
This is just a personal observation from doing a lot of site searching. I’m just amazed at
All the different marketing techniques used at these various Cobra kit manufacturers.
