    FFR#48 Gen3 Daytona Coupe for sale!


    2017 FFR#48 Gen3 Daytona Coupe is For Sale! Street legal race car!

    I am moving to Europe for work and cannot take this great car with me. Rather then letting it sit for many years untouched I want someone else to enjoy this famous race/street car featured in*Grassroots Motorsports multi-page article December 2017 issue. FFR#48 Gen3 Coupe R was also utilized by Factory Five Racing for aero wind tunnel testing, and shock/suspension testing.



    Campaigned in 2017 race season, FFR#48 podium-ed all National Auto Sports Association ST2/TT2 races entered, won 5 out of 7 races and finished 3rd in the other two. It was invited to run at the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge 2017 placing the 7th fastest time out of 50 cars with a laptime at VIR of 1:58.985.

    Laptimes:
    May @ NJMP Lightning laptime - 1:09.249
    May @ VIR - 1:58.985
    June @ NJMP Thunderbolt laptime - 1:25.515
    July @ Pocono Double Infield CCW - 1:33.231
    August @ Limerock laptime - 56.313

    #48 Gen3 Coupe R was built with the help of The Traveling Builder Mark Dougherty, his son Brendan, Sean Lingle and me, starting Jan 1, 2017 and over 5 build weekends in time to make the March 2017 VIR track day.



    On debut, first time on track it lapped VIR* 2:00 on used 245/40/17 Hoosier A7 tires, with the brakes or car not sorted fully.

    Over the rest of the 2017 season, the car was fully sorted out, and optimized for NASA ST2/TT2 rules. It does over 2G's in lateral acceleration on race tires, with the top speed of over 150mph. It is well setup and handles neutral to slight under-steer on track. The braking performance is astounding. Setup notes and over 12 years of FFR race car knowledge will be shared with the buyer along with a copy of the race notebook known as 'the FFR#48 bible'.

    This is a serious, multi race winning race/street car and I see no reason why it cannot win at the NASA Nationals 2018 @ Circuits of the Americas (COTA) F1 race track September 2018.

    It was driven on the street many times, and most notably to the 2017 Factory Five Open House from NH over 200+ miles round trip with all of the aero bolted on getting many thumbs ups from fellow motorists.
