Well, I know I'm relatively new to the site, and no one really knows me but, I figured you people could respect the new purchase.

I originally bought my 1994 Z28 A4 as an M6 candidate, seeing as A4's are boring for street use (IMO) and lack the control of an M6 at an AX event.

So a guy on my local F-Body board posted up a sale thread yesterday with a '94 Z28 M6 for $1000 obo.

Naturally I was bewildered. What could be driving the cost down so low? I called him within 5 minutes of him putting it up for sale, he said it's got the intake gasket leak and its so bad that it soaked the clutch (which was just replaced 8 months prior; for the same thing) needs tie rods and wheel bearings. So I asked what the mods are and he tells me its got pace setter coated long tubes, 3" Y, spiral flow muffler to SLP loudmouth, Lakewood poly LCA, Jegster torque arm, SLP fan switch, 160*, PCM for less tune, new rear tires. I say, you really only want $1000? He says, "yeah..."

SO... I went and looked at it today, and he showed me the title which reads "rebuild salvage" which is what I was wondering about, not a big deal. Kentucky will title anything with a "rebuild salvage title," but they wont even touch a "salvage title" as it's illegal and not road worthy at that point. The fit/finish lack a bit, but its still a complete car! Hardtop too! I think the color is Monterey Maroon Metalic?

I gave him half the money, signed the title, and had him sign a receipt and my buddy signed as a witness... I'm picking the car and title up next Monday and finalizing the sale.

So... instead of swapping my A4 to an M6 (was going to buy a complete T56 setup off someone for $1200) I'm now the new owner (almost) of another Z28!

Did I read the rules right? That an '02 WS6 is not allowed to compete in either class?
It's just a damn hood for crying out loud!

Well for all that are unhappy with the restictions of CMC, there is always American Iron (http://www.americanironracing.com/) , or if that is too restictive and you have a lots of $$$ American Iron Extreem (http://www.americanironracing.com/).
Now if you like what you got and want to change nothing (exept for adding the safety stuff) there is Performance Touring (http://www.performancetouring.com/), anything goes there, you can have as little or as much modification as you want, they have a class for you! Now if you really don't even want to invest in a cage and harness either (might be unvise) you can always run Time Trial (http://www.nasa-tt.com/), it is not wheel to wheel but there is good competition. Look at it like training for qualifiing, your fastest lap counts.
There! Now, there is no excuse to get out there and race. I hate hearing, usually not from this board, enthusiast complaining about not having a place to run their car, and complains about "de-moding" their ride.

I am off topic again, so I will stop now.....
