CMC Firebird Available - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I'm posting this as a heads up in case anyone just has to have a good CMC car for next year (aiming at the folks on the East Coast). We don't really have to sell this car, so it isn't going to be a steal. Anyway, here it is:

89 Firebird
Fresh 305 TPI (2 events)
Underdrive pulleys
2.5" y-pipe into 3" exhaust with muffler, turndown in front of axle
T5 trans with Hurst shifter
Fresh built rearend, new Moser axles, new Torsen T2R (2 events)
3.23 gears
Baer 12" front brakes with PBR calipers
Front brake cooling ducts
LT1 rear brakes
Braided brake lines front and rear
Wilwood brake proportioning valve, driver accessible
1050 lb. front springs
225 lb. rear springs
WS6 sway bars
Bilstein struts
Koni SA rear shocks
Ground Control (IIRC) camber plates
Ground Control front control arm bushings
Rodended rear control arms
Double rodended panhard bar
ATL Fuel Cell
New fuel pump (2 events)
K&N cone air filter setup
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Accusump
Aluminum radiator
Subframe connectors
Modified Autopower rollcage
Sparco race seat
Fresh G-Force FIA Certified Camlock Harness (good for 5 years)
Quick disconnect steering wheel
Autometer gauges and shiftlight
Low oil pressure light
Firebottle Halon system
Optima battery, relocated to rear
Lightweight GTA wheels
Shaved Toyo RA-1 tires (2 events)

This car has a lot of good, fresh parts on it. Two wins and a second out of four races since I put it on the track as a CMC car. Turned consistent 1:28's in last race at Summit Point, still has some time left on the table. Should be good for consistent 1:27's at Summit when driven to its potential (I'm still knocking the rust off after a 3 year hiatus from racing).

It is not the prettiest car out there. It has scratches, dings, and dents. It received a nice bump from a FFR Cobra at the last race, behind the right rear wheel, which we will be fixing. But, it is a mechanically strong car. We'd be looking for close to $10k right now, which does depend somewhat on whether we include our second set of GTA wheels and some other spares. If that's too much, so be it...I'll just keep racing it next year.

Still pretty much the same as in the original listing. We did put new pistons in because the skirt broke off one of the originals, and it now has a Canton oil pan rather than an Accusump. I'm now tweaking on the setup since I'm driving it a lot closer to its potential now, so suspension config may be a little different. I'm getting ready to put a new set of Koni's on it as well as a few other items. The car is to the point that its pretty reliable, no dnf's since my first race last year when I ran it out of fuel. So far this year I have two wins, three seconds, and a fifth place. The only reason for the "low" fifth place finish was that I spun off the track when we were racing in the snow at VIR. Also set a new track record at VIR full course.
