275s fit with some simple rolling with 10" or 9.5" rims, and are not that tight on the inside. however, they are at the limit at the inside, and an 11" rim up front would have to stick out about 1", and thats where there needs to be rolling. i dont think a 295 would be much different.

well, there is 2-3k to do it right and get one in there. suddenly, that $15k car turns into $18k. However, now you get a car with a lot of good stuff, so its still a good deal. Much faster and more dependable than anything else around in that price range.

The black 89S4 does not have a cage...or even a roll bar....just a gutted S4 with big wheels-tires, fender flares, welded sunroof & a custom exhaust + GTS brakes.... Add a cage and basically its the holbert car.....add a fuel cell + fire system and it will pass tech just about anywhere....
I wonder what it weighs?

I wonder what type if any engine mods it has......with only the exhaust on a well running 928 would be over 300whp..... add cams and tuning you could get past 335whp easy.....with a stock 5.0L bottom end.....

Check out the Coastal Bend PCA website (Austin, Texas) sorry for not having the link....anyway it appears that someone has a complete 928 set up for the track at a very good price. Buying one is much smarter than building one!!
You can STILLl spend 24 hours a day working on "purchased" track car.

Keep in mind $15k is the asking price......negotiation is key!!!

They don't even know what motor is in it... they claim 345chp out of the stock 89 motor. When I asked if it was a GTS motor I got a pissy reply. I don't have the reply anymore but they told me a lot more than 2700lbs. I think it was 3000lb. I would stay far away from that car.

Well Guys, not to be rude but I started this thread for those who would be interested in the build of my car and it's progress. It seems to have gotten off track! pardon the pun.

My teardown continues (big job) My Kirkey racing seat arrived vis DHL yesterday. Extremely light at about 8lbs. I think the box was heavier than the seat. My carbon spoiler and safety harness arrived also. When the interior is gutted. It will go out to get the main hoop done and the rest will be done in house.
