    Cockpit Room

    Does the FFR 289 FIA share the same width and overall size cockpit with the FFR MRK IV. I had an original FFR Car- back when they cost 9,999.00. I was very comfortable. But I also know that a real 289 is tight at the shoulders for me. What is the consciences?

    The 289 USSRC/FIA is a MK IV with a 289 shaped body sitting on top of it. The only difference is some of the aluminum panels are different to accomodate the contours of the 289 body and the door shape is a little different. As far as I could tell, the overall cockpit size and width are the same.
