FFR vs Turnten racing

[mj_duell]

Hi Bob,
Don and I ran that idea by some people at Carlisle and they seem to be in agreement with you. I think we will start working on a "Build Your Own Kit" Package soon. We found that one of the other factors that people liked was that we have two frames to choose from. I have been spending my time promoting the EVO 5 competition style frame and did not really get into the EVO 4. Many people wanted a nice street ride with a huge trunk and IRS. The EVO 4 comes with all of that stuff standard and I never even thought to promote it and all of the performance options available on the EVO 5 will work on that chassis. We have a lot of advantages we need to offer. I am heading off for a family vacation this week and I am bringing my laptop. I should have a basic kit list for the "Build Your Own Kit" by the time I get back. Even though the thought of a huge number of orders is attactive, Don and I wish to keep the current 4-5 Rollers/TKM's production we have now. This lets us give a high level of finish to customers and gives us an edge as far as quality. I'm not saying we may never get high production numbers, but for now it's first-come-first-served so we can offer custom services and keep everything tight. Don has broken ground on a new facility and we might be able to go to 8 cars amonth when it is completed.

Hi Freddie,
Sorry it has been awhile since my last post, been out of town. I will be posting a "Build Your Own" kit list this coming weekend. You will be able to buy the finished major parts individually and smaller pieces in assemblies. More on this later. I haven't had a lot of time because we are getting ready for London, Ohio. I will also be posting a "EVO 5 Build" page to show the construction of the London display car.

I would also be interested in the kit package. My wife and I race mustangs and she has started talking about putting a turbo motor in one of the cobras to make a "quick little street car!" here we go again...

I have posted a very preliminary list of part prices here:

I will be updating the menu and adding "Combo" kits, like the entire front suspension etc. We have been very busy getting ready for London, so I don't have time to add to it this week. If you have any questions please let me know mj_duell@turntenracing.com or call (585) 415-6701. Don't forget we also have our standard packages.

I have to get in on this. Maybe he should buy the Canadian Car sold by the American. Build it with Canadian and American parts. Ever see where some Ford 9" Rear Ends are built. When it's finished he can call it a North American Car. Yes, there is a North American Auto Pact.

We'll be right over to swap out yours for a SBC........oh the very thought of it yuk!

I work for a Japanese company that ya might've heard of its a small little outfit called Honda of AMERICA Manufacturing and seems to me that most of us take that good Japanese Paycheck and use it to buy American products so I guess what I'm trying to say is theres no such thing as an "american" car anymore... heck last i checked the car with the highest percentage of american content was the Toyota Camry

I really do love this answer because it is 100% correct.

I don't understand why some others here think that a replica made in Canada is any better or worse than the kits produced in the U.S. or anywhere else. The profits from U.S. sales stay here. I pay my U.S. assemblers here as well. I do not see anyone saying they will not buy BDR, SPF, KMP or others made outside the U.S. I have been following this thread for awhile and I think it has gone off topic. Which country the kit is produced in has little to do with the nuts and bolts comparison between FFR and TTR.

I really like the looks of that chassis Mike, a lot better looking than that funky looking square support tubes that some others use.

Let me know when you are ready and I will give it a shakdown at WGI.

Hi Roger,
Had a great time blastin around da Glen and hanging with you and John and the other Crankiods yesterday. Some serious gearheads and equipment showed up to that event. I'll get the EVO 5 display car done and prepped for September. Who knows maybe we can get a GT together for the spring. I believe we can get these cars dialed in with a good ole Cranky thrashing .

I want to hear more.
I am interested in both the D&D Cobra and FFR. In Canada there is not many cost effective options. The D&D may save a lot in shipping, duties and brokerage vs the FFR.

Thanks Mike, I got your email.

I Burnd, enjoyed that ride you and partner gave to my wife and I at Sanair Speedway in your Cobra, had a great day!
Yes, I also have taken a 180 with DD and TurnTen product.
Crusty1, I think we started a fire at the FFR forum on Why FFR? Post...
Breakout the Fire Hoses ding, ding ding!!

[mj_duell]

I just read the thread over at FFCobra. Those guys seem a little irked and mis-informed. Oh, well. Get a few good DD Cobras running around Canada and their tune may change. Oh, by the way to the FFR converts who are now trying Don's product. We have another secret in the works as well and it will be available to the pubic in the U.S. next week. You will see it appear on our display car shortly (see gallery). For now I will just post a picture below and say it not only fits our frame but FFR as well and the rest of the suspension pieces, lower arms, front uprights to replace the spindles and IRS arms and rear uprights will be available in about a month. Can you say "Billet"?



Let me know if you need them in Canada, I'll work it out with Don. I wonder what the FFCobra guys are going to think when we buy advertising on FFCobra in the next month or two?

[iwant1_2]

Misinformed? no... just when you think you have it all figured out a new better more improved product comes along and you just have to stay open minded and curb the big ego!!!....some at the FFR forum don't have enough of one and too much of the other!...as for FIRES well were all used to that in Canada...keeps us warm with the long winter months ahead..I love these Cobra forums... so much information 24/7....but isn't what this is all about? ....

I'm glad that you and your wife enjoyed the spin. It's alway a pleasure to share common interests. If I overcome some heat issues with my car i plan to be back up there in September and will let you know. Good luck with your new venture.
