All setup notes/instruction sheets/dyno sheets that were provided will be included with sale

All original OEM parts are included:
Stock Seats
Stock Exhaust
Stock shocks
Stock Springs (1LE package on SS's in 1998)
Stock Bars
Stock Radio had a fall, may or may not work.
A/C setup
Etc, Etc, I have all the parts to put the car back to OEM condition

Pictures are available http://books.google.com/books?id=ElpKS5y5D...aro&f=false

Why am I selling?

Eric put so much time and money into developing a top notch ESP car and I’m not going to use it for that. I’d have to modify it for street use/ DE/open track. If someone is looking for an instantly competitive ESP F body, it doesn’t get much better than this.




Clear PA title. No warranties given, as this is a 16 year old car.

Hardtop or T top?

[kevin]

I'm not familiar with MLS Motor Racing and a Google search produced no sites I was able to find pictures on. Would you mind linking to the correct page? Thanks! Sounds like a great buy.

[matt f]

It is a hard top

Mls site is not working. I can email pics

[camarokid91]

How are those 3.73's esp legal ?

[matt f]

As far as pictures,

A link to a book that the car was featured in:

I'm checking with Eric to see what ratio is in the car.

[matt f]

Stock gear ratio, 3.42. Updated original post.

[dailydriver]

This car went through Pennsyltuckey's draconian, privatized, inspection with dumped, no-catcon longtubes, and 6 point harnesses (or are the stock belts still in the car?), and QD?? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_confused.gif)

WHERE did you take it for this, as I'd like to go there for next year's inspection?

[matt f]

Yup. I'll PM you the shop, but it's in SE PA. They build race cars.

[matt f]

Back up for sale

[matt f]

I've been driving this a bit, new pricing reflects mileage.

[trackbird]

I'm kinda getting the "itch" for this car. It sucks that I'm out of garage space and I "just" bought a car.

[JimMueller]

This is what I want on my car, except from the photos Major Lee Slow sent to me I didn't understand how to modify my existing weight jackers.

"Custom Weight Jackers (Yep, can adjust corner weights without jacking it up) "

[matt f]

you'll have to contact Sam Strano for any info, as this belongs to him now...
