Posting this to see if anyone would like to offer any information, opinions or insite on what might be the better car to run in stock class, to include Nationals ~ car would not be a daily driver (trying to weigh my options)......feel free to "shoot from the hip"

2002 Z06
- Cost around $25,000. Still holding up well at National level events, but the Lotus and GT3 seem to have a definite advantage. Shocks (Penski) are pretty expensive (around $3000 ?). No wheel hop. Tires are around $1300 a full set. Would need smoething to transport tires (or car)

2007 Mustang GT (Shelby conversion)- Cost around $25,000 (converted). Top car in class thus far. Warrantee. Shocks $750 Minimal to no wheel hop. Tires are around $1300. I believe race tires will all fit in car.

98-02 SS- Cost $15,000 (for one with lower miles). Seems to still be competetive (should have a better idea later in the year). Shocks $750. Front bar $150. Wheel hop. VictorRacers (for local events) $880 / Divisionals or Nationals $1000 Tires can fit in car (in a pinch).

The costs are not an overriding factor but due play into my thought process (thus my reasons for showing prices). I just would like to see what else I could be over looking or what someone might be willing to share. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I like all of those cars. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Isn't the new Camaro projected to release in the first quarter of 2009? I would hold on to my cash until the cost and weight numbers are released for the new Camaro.

Yes it is. I was in Detroit for a follow up to the focus group we did last year. Got to drive the IVER cars. Crawled all over 4 production ready cars. Got the complete rundown on specs, options, packaging etc. and had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Most of the information should get released at the end of July/early August as that's when the press reveal will take place. Pricing won't be released for some time yet but they're sticking with the line that it will be competitive with a similarly equipped Mustang.

Not sure if anyone here can answer this but what are the chances of the new Camaro ending up in FS when it comes to market with an IRS and over 400 HP?

Of particular interest to this group will be one likeable extra that should show up on the option list.

Thanks for the update Art......
Knowing you can't give specifics, do you think that it will make for a good autocrosser ? (from what you've seen/know)
