Talking with M-Patterson, He has convinced me to put Black Bart into NASA - AI. I would run the car, but my hands are full developing the new NASA Class - Grand Production Challenge (GPC)

My actual goal is to sell the car with or without spares.
It is Black on Tan Leather. No tops or power windows. Light weight factory stripper.
Any Interest?

I am thinking $15K turn key T2 we can talk from there. I can also build the car up as needed. :leaving:

$13,000 K just for the car.

Huge spares package available at extra cost.

Not to hijack your post...but what the hell is GPC??

Grand Production Challenge. This is a new class for NASA. It is kinda like AI but for Factory "Super GT's" Corvette, Vipers, Porsche GT3s, Ferrari Challenge 348,355,360, Acura NSX that sort of thing. GPC-1, GPC-2 and GPC-X

There were a lot of singles and doubles of these cars at every event without any standard set of rules for all. So I put together a stardard set of rules to gather up all of the loose production cars so they could have a class and increase numbers.

Sounds cool...good luck getting that together.

It should be fun. With NASA it will allow competitors to upgrade weak components to make some of our production cars a little more track worthy! :drive:

It's relatively easy to convert an LS1 T2 Camaro into a competitive American Iron car. Add some headers, a few supension pieces, and drop the weight. No motor work needed.

I try to sell my car for nuthin' and no response!

I sent the link to this thread to a guy on nasaforums.com that is looking for an AI car. Maybe that will work out.

Jason

Thanks for the help! It will go along way to help with my other racing budget.

This car is fast enough with a good driver to podium in AI now. A few key compents and it will challenge for the #1 spot.

You have a PM from a potential buyer.

I will bring Bart to the NASA Race at MSR - Cresson. If anybody wants to see it.

I may throw some big freakin tires on it and run it in AIX. I think my C5 315s will bolt up! :drive:

Car ran well at NASA's race at MSR. I had my dad drive it. First time at track, first time in a Camaro, First race in over 2 years. He is accustomed to cars that handle well and are responsive! Man what a marsh mellow

I drove it once and it was like being in a giant black marsh mellow However it was very responsive to throttle imput and liked to be floored all of the time. I am sayin' a couple of grand in used race parts and a long weekend with a strict diet for the 3600lb beast and you have got a competitive car that is easy to drive and maintain.

$13K for Bart and options for lots-o spares.

Nice - it's marshmallow - see definition 1, unless you adorned it with pink flowers (see definition 2), or you were just driving like definition 3:

PS - What's up with your signature - a bunch of horsepucky with no real listing of what each heap really is...

I enjoyed Webster's definintions of Marshmallow.

Bart, was set up to roll over to create maximum traction via extreme side to side weight transfer. Eric would have set the car up this way to compete with stock suspension.

I am amazed at the price and seeing all of the excellent used racing parts available on this forum alone no one has been interested. For less than $20K you could have a John George whippin' machine.

Ol' Blue - 1999 Mallett Corvette T1 now GPC-2
Statutory Grape - 1974 Porsche Carrera 2.7 RS
Black Bart - 2002 SS Camaro was T2 soon to AI

$13,500. Car, ready, few sapres.

$12,500 or street car here it comes!
