I love it! I used to drool over FFR cobra kit cars and really liked this kit when they came out with it.

What suspension bits does it use?

Love how simple the accesories are and such a short belt. Lots of room for a blower

Thanks! It is *very* different from the everyday cobra replicas, this is the one the Factory Five owner designed for himself and discontinued the line soon thereafter to focus on their GTM supercar. Really like that there are so few. Doesn't have as many people working on building them so there is certainly a little less of an audience to bounce questions off of during the process.

Filled it up at the Wawa and it drew a little crowd. That is nice.

Has an IRS in the rear, nearly perfect 50/50 weight ratio right now. Coilover, of course, with very high spring rates in the front (think they are 550# but would have to double check). Just got it this morning before work and I'm still going thru the stack of receipts that are more than an inch thick!

So, this is the car factory five made before the LSx powered GTM? If that's the case, I know this car is bad ass, because those GTMs are nasty!
