Kicking around the idea of a track/time trial car and have been thinking about a V6 F Body. Of course an LT1 or LS1 car would be faster but I don't think there's anything but catch-all classes for them, at least for the SCCA. And A Sedan looks to be more than just a bolt-on class. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) However, the SCCA has classed the 1996-2002 in ITR, and I figured something built for a specific class would be better down the road in case I want to sell it.

Anyway, 1987-1992 305 F Bodies are also in ITR, but you can't run 1LE stuff (namely brakes), and minimum weight is 3,465. V6 cars can run the "LS1" brakes and minimum weight is 2,815. I figure rollcage, Konis, Strano springs and bar and onto a good start for a cheap track car.

Looking around on the internet, it appears all the 96-02 cars are pretty much the same under the skin, other than brakes. ??? Anybody have some insight?

In '99 they moved to the electronic throttle body and revised the intake and exhaust manifolds slightly. HPTuners (if you're going to use it) doesn't support '96 V6 cars.

Good summary link of year-to-year changes on the 4th gen V6's: http://tech.firebirdv6.com/general.html and http://tech.firebirdv6.com/
