[ESPCamaro]

If you sold your car and had to buy a NON F-body what would it be. Think of working within your current budget.


I would like a late 80's BMW M3. With a 3.0 or 3.2 M3 engine. A Street Modified car.

With flares and 245/17's.


Or an E36 M3 for BSP. That one would depend on purchase price though.

Mike....yeah, but ask Dave how much that little Radical set him back!... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I was looking at those a few years ago...but that is t BIG step up both in money, and time...to learn it, to work on it, and to tune it....THEY ARE SUPER WELL BUILT AND COOL THOUGH!

Dave....I have emailed you a few times building the Camaro....and Alan is ALWAYS trying to get me to a NCRRC event...I just never have the time/money to go to a second series...YOU NEED to bring that thing out to the SCCA and run that thing to the front....that is a lot of car for track days!

I have less money in the Radical than I did the Camaro, but maybe that's just me. The Radical will set you back $50-60K, depending on options, so yeah, it's the high end for the sports racer class. But there's virtually no "mods" to make, just get in and drive. So I'm actually hoping it will cost the same, maybe even a bit less to run than the Camaro did. Brakes will last far longer, tires maybe the same. But there's an engine refresh that needs to be done periodically - a bit of a wild card.

For me the main reason to get it is to be able to work purely on my driving skills, with a car that's really made to be just right on the track. Well-balanced, no compromises. Well, I'm sure there's better, but at my level it appears to be no compromises.

Good to hear Alan's out preaching the NCRC story, Randy (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Next year racing for me will be through American Racing Club, the latest venture. So again, no SCCA for me I guess.
