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?

Pat,

NASA Mid-Atlantic is heavy with CMC cars. A few of us Midwest guys ran with them at VIR last March and there were 20+ cars. Before buying a V6 car I'd get ahold of Kent Lydic and talk to him about CMC. We just put together a really nice 4th gen LT1 car and it came in around $13,000. We built a 3rd gen two years ago with an LT1 and sold it without a seat and a few other things for $8,000. CMC is not an expensive class and is growing with all the termoil in AI.
