Run 9 Seconds in a Factory Five!
FFR Customer Steve B. Runs 9.13 @ 154 MPH!
 
If a young kid came up to you and said his Factory Five would run close to 9 seconds flat in a 1/4 mile, you might think he was full of it.  If you looked at the car and the only exterior clue was a set of 275/40R17 Hoosier drag radials, you might reach for your wallet to place a bet.  You'd loose.

In the world of bench racing, Factory Five customer Steve Berg sits at the top of the heap... and he backs it up.  The entire tech crew at Factory Five was BLOWN AWAY upon watching Steve on a YouTube video drag race his FFR Mk3 Roadster run an incredible 9.13 second 1/4 mile pass.  Congrats to Steve Berg and Brian Wolfe at WrenchRat.com.

 

A well-built FFR street car....

...with only 805 Twin-Turbo HP under the hood.
