OK. Wow.
I have a few pallets of 335/30/18 Ra1's shaved to perfection.
Slow but cheap good lasting tire.

I was thinking less Darth vader and more C7 + wheels and tires, + pads and fluid and see how it goes...

Sounds great! I have wanted to organize a CA track trip with my friend, and it should be fun year at Miller with all the outer loop events that are scheduled this year because of NASA Nationals in sept.
come run!

Say what you will about the new Corvette, it has some really cool features, and a lot of adjustability for what the driver wants (as opposed for example to what Stuttgart wants).

However, I really respect the courage and conviction Juechter and his team have in directly presenting his product at the track in front of enthusiasts, not some muzzled journalist hacks.

Porsche can't do a thing without the approval and use of The Great Porsche Marketing Machine (honesty and integrity are words not known to The Machine).

My hat is off and full respect given to Tadge Juecher, Harlan Charles and Dave Tatman. I love the honesty and integrity with how you are presenting your product to the people who buy it. Kudos men!

The Old Vette http://www.sccaforums.com/forums/aft/443316 $19K ready to play. Could use a set of long tubes and a tune for 400 or so rwhp. This is what you call a "Cheap Disposable Track Car" Who needs a stinking warranty

I see at least front and rear hoops as well as a window net. Not sure about door bars?? For that price adding a couple of bars isn't much $$$
Edit I see door bars on the passenger side. This is an SCCA T1 car.
