What do you think of this GT?

Good point, Matt. Robert, are you really going to fork out that much cash for just a track car, or is this thing going to see regular driving duty?

Thats what I have been telling him.



I will find you one. 6m or 6a?

6M, naturally.

I will be working closely all year with Mark Wilson @ Ford Racing as well as Motorsports Development Group, who are fielding a Boss 302R in SCCA World Challenge + select Grand Am races all year. I can probably give you some advice on what to buy and what to stay away from once you get a car and start setting it up for the track. Starting with a wrecked car is fine, just get it on a frame machine and get it straight before you start welding a cage or sfcs in it. Depending on how far you want to gut the car, a flood car is fine as 90% of the wiring will be removed if you gut the interior, install a race pack dash, etc.

Good to know! However, the starting price on the two flood damage cars still seems high. They want $16k on a performance white one with 1200 miles and $14k for a 21k mile California Special. I absolutely planned on getting it on a frame table, then welding all the seams before having the cage put in.

It will be a track car that will see the street on fair weather days only.

It seems like you would be better off getting that Aluminator Coyote swap from Jeremy at Lonestar and putting all that stuff in a fox for that. It comes with everything you need for that swap i believe and would be a track/street screamer.

I've already looked into it.

Coyote aluminator 6,950
coyote 5.0 $6,000
alternator package $250.00
control package $1,400
moroso oil pan$453
block plate $17.00
p/s bracket $250
longtubes about $580

A wrecked 5.0 that can drive onto a trailer can be had for a little more. I would have a super fast fox, but it's still not what I've had my heart set on from the time I saw my first '11. After driving a '12 it was solidified. I know a Fox with good suspension and a coyote drivetrain would run circles around an S197, but it's not what I want.
