I talked to David Smith yesterday about some club business and while on the phone he was so excited about his business that I thought I would pass some of his comments on.
He said that they are making some small changes the new coupe/roadster (oxymoron car) in the quarter panels. They're going to reshape the rear end of the car that is coming to be known as the spyder. Based on customer feedback, they've decided that the car is a hit, but the read end needs to go back to the drawing board.
As you all know they are releasing a yet to be named mid-engine supercar with FFR's own styling cues. This car code-named GTM, it's a combination of vintage and modern mid engine supercars, but with a very distinct look of its own. He promises to release the drawings as soon as the body design has been approved.
FFR is making plans to release an FIA style 289 car. The kit should be available this summer. This should be a cool kit!
They plan to have the red car ready this summer, in two versions with a couple of engine options. The cars, code-named GTV8 and GTV12 will be powered by either a small block, or have the ability to use the XJS V-12 motor. Old Jag XJS' can be bought for under a couple of thousand dollars and then you get the sound of an old F-car! Also, based on this chassis, he's working on a vintage convertible based on a very famous Italian GT car that won the hearts of many, but Pontiac stole the name. I think the Beach Boys had a song about a Goat? Didn’t they?
FFR, Inc. is 100% on support of the new club that we will be organizing real soon. The plan is to launch our first national event in April at the Knott's show. More details to come! We're forming regions, with regional officers to be named. Anyone wishing to volunteer to assist in forming the national or regions should contact me.
