I have an oppt to buy a really nice street Porsche and am wondering what my race car would go for these days.
Its the former Grantsfo pirate ship... been sitting here unused for the last 2 years... and I've used it twice... Yeah, I know. Here's a short list of things: '74 low mile chassis FG trunks, bumpers, and flares 5-6 year old 2.5 purpose built /6 motor, carb, twin plug LSD transmission 5 lug / full suspension Cage Kirkley seat 2 sets of wheels Known issues: LSD slips Engine smokes after sitting long periods Carbs likely need cleaning Package would include nice Carson steel open deck trailer. What's it worth? Attached thumbnail(s) |

There are enough internet opinions out there to choke a horse...or your car.
Those that count are the ones that have demonstrated their opinions by success in your chosen *competition*. I will say that a I prefer stiff chassis to a flexi-flyer in my former discipline. It will make the whole car set-up react in the same manner every time and doesn't require heroic driving when properly set up (and it won't break in half). A guy can concentrate on going as fast as he is able on a given day. From a builders stand point, it allows modifications with the knowledge that the car will respond, either positive or negative, to the modification. |

I"m glad that racing season has started and maybe we can get some conversation started in this forum again.Our cars are old school technology and still competing at a high level.I hope that everybody is kicking their competitions ass in whatever venue or setup they are competing in or with.I remember the day that a 914 brought fear to the competition as soon as it pulled in the gate.Now we get more of-What is that? Lets keep them running and hopefully at the end of the day-They know what kind of car it was and they know it sure was fast.JJackson (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
