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?

The early (93-97) V6 cars came with drum brakes on the rear. There was a V6 motor upgrade sometime in the LT1 era. Disc rear may have been an option but I think they became std after 98. The V6 came with a T5 trans, there is a good thread on the T5 variants somewhere here on frrax. The suspension (other than spring and damping rates) and chassis are the same. Is the 2815 weight with driver? That I don't think is possible under IT rules, the V6/T5 is not going to weigh 400# less than the LT1/T56. CMC is a little more open than IT and the CMC LT1 cars are right around 3000# w/o driver. If it's 2815 w/o driver then you'll get closer to min.
