Pontiac Firebird with LS1, floater 9", and Tremec Magnum T56 specifically built for NASA's American Iron road-race series.
(IMG:http://rrsusp.com/images/bird/cover_photo.JPG) This car started life as a 1994 Firebird Formula. In 2008, I purchased it and made it a track-only car. In 2010, I began racing it in American Iron, and it quickly received the LS1 facelift (and tail-lights), as well as the LS1 engine. The graphics that you see are paint, not a vinyl wrap. I have CAD files for paint mask templates, which will go with the car, or we can discuss a repaint in a single-color. This Firebird has been built with safety as my primary goal, and competitiveness as a close second. Very little expense has been saved in the pursuit of either goal. The seat has been moved back against the main hoop, and all controls relocated rearward because of it. This gives maximum room for a window exit (and in fact I never open the doors unless I'm cleaning or maintaining the car). The main cage bars were bent by Alan Blaine, and installed by Fulcrum Aeroworks. The main structure is 1.75" diameter, .120 wall. Non-required bars are .090 thick. Cage has NASCAR bars on both sides. Modifications:
I love this car, and still enjoy racing, but I'm ready to move on from racing (or rather my wife is ready for me to move on). I don't need to sell it, so don't make a ridiculous offer. I intend to continue to race it until it finds a new home. Any questions, please email jim {at} design-base {dot} net, or PM me and I'll send you my phone number. Asking $17,000 obo I have a 2006 Pace 20' enclosed trailer and a 2012 Chevy diesel Silverado that could be worked into the deal.

What width are the NT03s, and various Toyos??
What is the 'wet' weight (sans driver)? I like the Motul catch can. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |

Wheels are 17x9.5, if memory serves. All tires are 275/40/17
Motul can was a temporary solution. It's actually still on the car, but I have a new can to install. Car was 3180 with my 200# butt before the 9" install. I actually don't remember what it's at now. If you're interested in the car, I can certainly find out. I have lexan to replace the rear glass, which I believe will make up for the 9" weight. |

Car is still for sale. Offering a limited time price before I take the engine out for a refresh, at $13,500 (firm).
The engine has excessive blow-by, and is both burning oil and pushing excessive amounts of oil out of the catch can. |
