I was looking at the info Hurricane has on their suspension.
With a fully adjustable suspension, you are able to make adjustments in every direction without making a compromise in the other settings. Heim joints are far superior to rubber bushings. Since they have no play, there is no change in alignment due to a rubber bushing deflecting.
The reason you hear that a FFR is more raceable, and that's only from FFR owners, is because FFR has brainwashed them into thinking the round tube frame is the only design to have and that everything else is inferior. That's total B.S. One idiot on the FFR forum stated that a Hurricane frame would flex if you stood on it. More B.S.
I looked at FFR very closely while doing my research on Cobras. They were also the first one I crossed off my list.

Suspension I might mention! :)
The Hurricane suspension set-up is very good, fully adjustable side to side, up & down in all four corners. My front end shop had no trouble aligning the car.
I lowered the adjustable shock springs to the level I prefrerred and set the ride with the adjusting knobs on the shocks.
The car rides great (stiff and firm), easy to control in a full power slide and goes straight as an arrow down the highway at any speed. In fact, it only gets a little scary about 110 mph because the car is so light.
It's so much fun driving my Hurricane I'm going broke buying gas..I guess it could be worse. ;D
It's very safe and works well, best Regards, Bill ;)
