    Atlanta: help deciding between mk4 and 33

    I posted an earlier question about leg room differences between the mk4 and the 33 and got some good feedback.

    It was suggested that I try to find one of each model to sit in.

    Is there anyone near Atlanta with a mk3 or 4 or a 33 that I might be able to sit in?

    I’ll drive anywhere and would greatly appreciate the help!

    I just wanted to say a big thank you to Garry Bopp for inviting me over to his shop to see his beautiful Challenger Car. I was able to sit in the car and it was a nice fit. We also talked about track requirements, which was very interesting to me.

    Garry, you’re a great ambassador for FFR and I very much appreciate your help today!

    I've been fortunate enough to meet Garry at a few events and he is truly a class act and represents well what Factory Five Racing is all about.

    David, I got to see Garry’s awesome Challenger Car today that I think was a mk3. I’m trying to learn as much as I can and would love to see your mk4 as well. I’m in Marietta and could drive over at your convenience.

    Another great day for this FFR wanna be.

    David Sarver (Ducky2009) was gracious enough to spend a few hours with me today showing me his Coyote powered MK4. David has done a lot of modifications to give the car his own personal touch. It was very helpful to hear about these changes and it definitely got my wheels spinning about things that I might do differently in my build.

    David, you are a heck of a fabricator and I appreciate all the info you shared with me today.

    I've had both MK3 and 4 also tried the 33, i think the 33 is a bit wider due to the trans tunnel width

    Martin, I'd love to see your right hand drive. Let me know when you'll be in Sandy Springs and if you've got time I'll stop in. Keith
