What's the pros and cons of FFR?????

Hi Bob,

Over the last two years I have gained a true appreciation for the FFR. I spent 5+ years and a ton of money building my JBL (my bride of Frankenstein) and it is truly a one of a kind beauty. But building that car was something I had to get out of my system. Honestly, and before I pulled my head out….., I used to poo poo the FFR for what ever reason, like I was so above that type of car. That was before I bought my FFR spec racer on a whim. I have to tell you that I am now humbled by the car, the engineering, simplicity, very easy to work on, and what you can do with one on the track. They are very rugged, can take a lot of abuse, and you can make them stick like snot with the right setup.

All kits will have pros & cons if you plan to build your own. Believe me, there is plenty to frustrate you with any build. There is a ton of support for the FFR builder/owner and the quality and completeness of their kit is very good.

I’ve had so much fun and made so many great friendships with my spec racer, my JBL is now pissed at me. I spend 90% of my shop time working and improving the spec. It’s what I’m really excited about these days. If you are a meticulous person you can pretty much build any kit car nicely and I’ve seen some pretty nice FFR street cars too. Remember, you can spend a lot of money on any car, but the bottom line is to have fun!

Good luck with your endeavor and hope this helps. I don’t think you can go wrong with a Factory Five.
