This of course is my experience from budgeting the costs to build these cars. I could be wrong.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Ron, what the hell do you know?!?!? hehe

As for if GM will be racing, yes, the three ProFWD cars will be back out next year and a couple others in other classes as well. The questions is where are they going to race? ( haha, I know, beating a dead horse )

ProFWD should have a couple good contenders next year.

 

Yup hes right,there is ONE hotrod car out there that cost about as much or more. Kenny tran

 

so Brian's cobalt IS going back to hot rod?

u mixing it up in all motor next year? (that's the rumor going round these parts )

 

Last time i priced the FWD Xtrac is was $19k, and another $2-3k for a bellhousing. A lot of money for sure, but not quite $30k. The difference between $21k and $16k for a trans is nothing when you're talking about total costs to build a race car.

I can't agree with that statement Tony, $5K is still $5K, whether you're spending $50 000 or $100 000. It's all about budget, and if you can't be realistic, it's easy to watch your overall costs spiral out of control.

I am unsure about Brian's car, but I am confident about the other ProFWD cars. As for me being in the seat, don't count on it, unless a miracle happens. I was thinking about building a SportFWD Honda to play with. I know I can race that......

ps, anyone selling a shell for a 92 - 06 civic 4 door? IM me

Aight Ron, more info on the 08 Mazda 6 or ban...hehe great to see you guys coming out with a fresh car with much learned info from the previous...and everyone else lets get some detailed updates on offseason to-do's.

Pdang

 

Hey Ron, you forgot about Bothwell's cavalier. Its still out here, maybe someone will pick that up and race it.

 

wow running...lets see the car ron

 

PSCA?

If so, many cars here can run Quick Street (9.60 index) and Mean Street (10.60 index)

Beat up on some V8's and have some fun.

But didn't I say that LAST YEAR???

I am taking a serious look at NHRA's Stock AF/S class for which the SRT-4 is legal for and the index, ha I run under it already (14.15). I can move up to SS when I put in Stage 3R and I believe my index will be in the 11's and that is easy to reach with S3.

I don't know anymore. Seems Sport Compact is bent on having just a place for the fastest of the fast and for those that actually drive their cars on a daily basis, "we have brackets for you, support the sport..." mentality -

Memo to the NDRA, make a class for the rest of us and put the Index at 11.50

Reachable with just about any compact...

Make a class like that and I will forget my aspirations of running Super Stock, requiring a six point that I really don't want to install.

There quite a few DD's that could make this class and I rather not hear the rants of the N/A crowd, many of you run in that zone as well with a decided weight advantage over anything built after 1996.

&lt;---- Not knowing where to run in 2008

 

come on ron lets see what you got so far
