What happened to the f9

When they say significant modification they mean it! To the point where it doesn't make sense doing it.

It's about time they change that frame because I have a buddy who bought their higher end or highest end one that takes a Corvette swap and the frame or chassis on it the tubes it's all crap so shitty and unsafe. They look good on the outside but when you get into it to have it where it's no built right it cost a fortune! There are other producers out there putting out a far better product from the ground up at cheaper prices apples to apples

This is all brilliant... except for the donuts in the parking lot. I instantly went from "Look at this brilliant piece of sophisticated in-house design and engineering" to "And now I remember why I stopped going to cruises and hangouts. There's always a version of Captain Donuts who ruins it." Love the look of the new top. You've pulled off something skilled people have been getting wrong for over half a century now. If I were you, I would not allow that well-deserved engineering and design achievement to be associated with mental midgets abusing cars. It turns off potential customers, not to mention their significant others/gatekeepers of the extra stall in the family garage. As soon as my wife saw those few seconds of Captain Donuts gone wild, I knew my here-to-fore successful campaign to put a 289 MK5 kit in my garage was set back by months.

The idea of driving a 427 AC Cobra on a cold day is exciting. It is like they had place like England, Europe and Southern California in mind with this hardtop.

nice

I'm 6'3" and full sized. I want a modern Coyote engine to power my dream. I live in the PNW and so rain is the norm. This Mk 5 is like a wish list come true. All I need now is for the Canadian peso to gain some value! Always an excuse...... but now its just the one.

They didn't redesign the body at all. The body is the exact same one from the MK4. They only added a roof option specifically designed for the MK4/MK5 body.

Have they improved those horrendous door gaps that require hours of fiberglass work to make look decent?

Hopefully that Hard top will be removeable.

Been saving for the 65 but now it’s going towards the mk5. That hard top looks great never was a fan of the bologna cut 65 bit i was willing to reshape it. Now i like the mk5. Very nice looking top.

The one thing i am interested in is how the top is attached and sealed.

I want one with a roof 😊

Oh dammmm!!! Smoking hot Cobra!!!!!

Where do I find the build video

You know, the deviations between the original and what is "standard" on a repo roadster now? Will soon everything be replaced with "new" just like the Avanti Coupe? It's all self-serving BS!

Is the 7.3 "Godzilla" really "massive"? It has much greater displacement than a Coyote, but the pushrod 2-valve-per-cylinder design is compact and light. "Huge" might have been a better term, but even then it only applies to displacement, not to package volume. The Godzilla is probably significantly longer, but is also narrower and likely lower; they are about the same weight.

Don’t know if they offer one but sure would like to see them offer a replica of the Pontiac Solstice with an array of LS engines to choose from!

Needs a top

The hard top for sure… but definitely need an LS in it..

I LOVE THE FASTBACK....... LOOK GREAT.....

I want a 5.0 10spd automatic; I wonder if the bigger transmission will fit?

Always liked the Superformance cars better.

The hard top does look like a British design. Kind of like a Triumph.

The new hard top looks so much better than the old top.

A targa top version of the hardtop would be awesome… but also unlikely..😢

720p...why?

THIS is EXACTLY what I was hoping for!!!

Now I need to decide on the Shelby Hardtop or the Daytona..

I won't resist anything. I want one and I want to know how much.

A high revving 289 would be a great choice

Would love a Hemi 6.4l in there. That would be cool. Don't say it was Ford powered as this is not a Ford product.

Hardtop looks amazing

I’m sold on the hard top look. ! It’s beautiful

I've looked at factory five to expensive and a person can't purchase the what they want you basically buy what they sell you

I'm a newbie on the FFR forum too and was planning on ordering MK4 and a Gen4 Coyote package from Forte. I was ready to place my order and then I saw the video that was posted. I decided to hold up and order a MK5 too. I'm not to far from Branham and was able to check out his build. I'd heard the footbox is tight but it honestly surprised me how tight it was. I'm only 5-7 so the height didn't bug me but I think more foot room and more engine bay room for the Coyote along with the stiffer chassis and other improvements will make the higher cost worth it. I'm hoping they will have a price and be ready for orders in January. I guess I'm the only one not really interested in the hard top even though it looks way better than the non factory options. Here I'd been planning for months and one video made me reconsider, lol. I've already talked to Forte and he's ready to go with the Coyote packages, he's a great guy to talk to, very knowledgeable. I'm planning on doing everything myself except for the bodywork and paint. Trackday17

The chassis looks more race car and less kit car?

The guy who started this company doesnt care about fit or finish. He said to many people these are race cars so fit and finish dont matter. True p.o.s in my opinion

Slap a Tesla Plaid drivetrain in it, and have the wildest car ever made.

WHAT is the fascination with the 427 COBRAS? More weight, ugky body, change weight distribution, of the original Ace.

Thanks for the update as there's nothing on the Factory Five website. FYI, I think his last name is Schenck.

Cup Holders? Who The hell would would care about cup holders! The car was meant to Drive not sit at Sonic sipping beverages! Ha Ha!

At 6’2” was always the reason I held off plus as a passenger I hated them. Hopefully this gives me a green light

I think there is a market for other unubtanium replicas. Old Farari replicas, Mk2 Escorts, RS2000, old Volvos. There are a lot of old chassis that are used for rally and are becoming harder to find.

Please release a new kit based on a 986 Boxster, it’s likely at maximum depreciation and would be a great base for a new kit. They are easy to find and quite affordable. Love the company!

But will it fit a Barra?

Fantastic, glad the new design has the 4 cam 5.0 and 7.3 engines accounted for

Looks to me the passages side side pipe has issue 😢

Looks like Triumph Spitfire big brother, which is great, one of best looking cars ever...
