FFR's perky butt keeping it down?

Thanks Sal...maybe I misunderstood the generality your original statement. Funny as it may seem but FFR's reluctance to build has generated secondary demand for quality builders with extensive race backgrounds, proven track experience and noted expertise in FFR cobra replica builds. In the end customers pay more for the complete turnkey. Less of a bargain... no doubt but not home builds and still below cost of the higher end replicas. These builders work closely with FFR and are well known across the coasts by FFR customers as vendors on their dedicated forum. In our immediate NYarea there are 2 quality race shops that have built 8-10 FFR's from roller to turnkey since 1995. But they pale in comparison to the business generated by more widely known FFR builders who benefit beneath FFR's reluctance to build rollers. FFR is still a young company when compared to some of the higher end cobra replica companies mentioned above .

So joey hv ...you didn't miss anything Bub ! The industry is aggressively competitive with companies as different as a Toploader vs. Tremec,
Jag vs. T-Bird IRS, 9 inch vs. 8.8 ........or .......perish the thought if a
Big Block vs. a Small Block !

KMP and ERA only?
FFR cars are in high #'s, inconsistant, and really do make great race cars. As a replica I have seen models I adore and some I cringe at. That is part of the fun!
Did you forget about CSX4000 glass cars? CCX?
I think Contemporary did a decent job as well, I am bias though:

And then there are some who are not even considered builders who have done just as many out of their old 1 car garage .
