Hello all,

Im looking for some guidance on what is necessary to prep a front or mid pack 4th gen f body for AIX. I am not new to f bodies, as i currently have a '95 z28 with a H/C/I 370lq9/t56 that is prepped for autocross/track days in the manner of koni yellows, strano springs, watts link, Brembo 4 piston caliper in front, all new bushing/balljoints, all the other usual suspension components. Ive decided a goal to get into AIX can be attainable because I am not too far off of the mid ohio track record according to their website. Mainly what i would like to know is:
What kind of power and weight does most of the competition have?

I have read the CMC/AI/AIX rules, but still have a few questions.

What is considered a NASA legal cage for AIX. Is a 6 or 8 pt sufficient?

I realize i would gut the interior, but I don't know if the fixed back corbeau seat I have is legal, I assume it has to be a metal type seat?

On the website regarding rules, you MAY use lexan for front windshield and rear window. By the cars ive seem I assume lexan is REQUIRED front and rear?

I see how CMC and AI are required to run toyo tires, is AIX open to any tire?

Thanks for any and all help.

How far are you off the AIX track record?

If you're actually looking to race other cars and not just be "racing", AI or CMC would be a better choice. Also, FI road course cars are pretty... money intensive. If $3000 is a good chunk of money, AIX is probably not for you. Chris Griswold is running somewhere between 800-1000HP. Non-DOT slicks are now legal for AIX.

AI can still pretty money intensive depending on how competitive you want to be and how much work you do yourself.

CMC is cheaper to put the car together, but the consumables are pretty comparable (at least to a light AI car).
