FFR's perky butt keeping it down?

The Hurricane is almost identicle to them since it is a direct splash off an original Cobra body.

Keep in mind that some cars which were splashed from original cars can still be different. The next question is which car? ERA used CSX2345 for their FIA (an unmolested original) and peters CSX3252 for their 427 car. Keep in mind that CSX3252 was a street car that had a wider lower fender area when viewed from the rear than does the S/C. Contemporary used CSX3045 an original S/C which was in fact an early car. CCX issues were more related to suspension height and geometry, once that is fixed or adjusted out the correct look is there. Remember these are all hand made cars so they vary in their original state as the numbers progressed. I can't remember which car KMP or CSX glass cars used but at least they were originals.

What car did Hurricane splash from? Second question was the car in its original state or re-body as many are.

This has been a question that has seen at least 10 threads before. FFR makes a solid representation of the original car with some slight compromise to the body. Some say it was to enable the use of the Mustang? It will be interesting to see what their next generation CSX3035 car will look like. If it is a true splash from 3035 it will probably change their overall appearance in many areas of the shape and construction.

Regardless buy the car you like and can afford. Then enjoy it, as it will be a great time every day you add miles. Cheaper than a shrink and better for the soul.

I was told by a Hurriance owner that there were things "changed" on the production Hurricane body, for the sake of staying away from body shape lawsuits.

With that said, this owner's car was the first Hurricane I had seen in person. I was VERY impressed with the body shape as it was. Even though I like FFRs, and bought one myself, if I were in the market for a "build it yourself" type Cobra again I'd go for the Hurricane over the FFR now.

KMP - CSX3104
CSX - CSX3178 (supposedly)
