When Projects become Projectiles
With a power-to-weight ratio
that can be as low as 3.5 pounds per horsepower, the Mk4 Roadster is a match for
any sports car made today. Zero-to-sixty acceleration times in the three second
range, and 10-second 1⁄4 mile passes are not uncommon. Factory Five customer
Steve Berg has run his own FFR Roadster down the drag strip at an amazing 9.13
seconds at 154 MPH! With a well-built, modestly powered FFR Roadster, you will
simply own any stoplight.
When it comes to road holding, our cars fare equally well. FFR cars have
routinely run in the 1.00 to 1.05 range in skid pad tests on street tires. That
means your FFR turns as fast as it falls through the air! On a track or a twisty
section of road you will hold a line that others in lesser cars (like a Porsche
911, 0.91G) will not be able to hold. These numbers are borne out in the real
world by the staggering number of autocross and road racing wins FFR customers
have racked up over the years.
At a vehicle weight about 2,200 pounds, braking is also impressive with the
stock Mustang GT brakes.
