    This is a great price. These cars are so undervalued in todays market.

    Who in there right mind would pay 40k for a FF when you have twice the car for just over half the price.

    Matt you should take it out and race this year if it doesn't sell.

    Default F2k Playtime

    Brian, Nick,

    I wish I could come out and play with the f2k guys this season. Unfortunately I spent my life savings on Pro Mazda last year

    Just got a new job so time off is tight. I have some opportunities co-driving GT3 Cup cars so I'm doing that now.

    If you guys know of anyone looking for a nice VD, please pass this ad along!

    Matt

    This is so cheap it's ridiculous. There is a zetec package for sale from another APEX user listed at 10k. That would mean if this was a roller you would be getting it for 12k.

    Someone needs to buy this car and race it.

    I'm debating it... had an RF99 narrow track car and liked it a lot until the engine mount broke at the firewall attachments. Then it understeered like a pig!

    It is difficult to fathom how a car like this can remain unsold when you consider the value and performance this car and FC in general offer. Only FA, GT1, P1 and sometimes P2 will run quicker and then only at significantly greater cost. If we would champion the class rather than to continue to be at odds that might help...

    Yeah, and 4K worth of gears alone.

    I've made an offer on the car - pending in-person inspection (which I'm sure will be great!) I'll be bringing home to shop our first zetec powered car!

    Assuming all goes well, I will have one of my pinto powered cars up for sale soon... keep an eye out.

    Very excited!

    Light side, dark side...I’m just here for the Saturday dinners.

    I’m excited to run the car, I’m definitely willing to share any data I gather over the next couple seasons. I just want to see lots of clever engineering and close racing.
