Probably sitting in someone's garage in pieces. I think there's a few cars like this one just sitting around, the red-haired step children of GTC3 cups. At least with POC now running weight/WHP classes that car would have somewhere to run though I doubt in would be competitive in our GT2. NASA raised thier GTS5 mulitplier from 6.5 to 7.2 this year so I doubt it could make it into GTS5, most likely GTSU where like GTA it would get slaughtered. Too bad, it looks like a nice build and I bet it's a fun to drive....

Hmm, wondered what it dyno'd at....

Gros Chien

Same project for me!!!!!

^don't bother! for $68k you can now buy this car. For the price of a good street car. Interesting results.

Glen

i thought he just built this car?

...appears so...

Glen

So I am guessing he bought a cup car? It's a beautiful car, well done and someone can buy it with borrowed $ since its street titled.

Just curious - why would this car be slower than a "factory" cup? Is it just a matter of getting rid of remaining excess weight, or is it something else? (grip, power, etc) Lovely car - hope it finds a good home.

it is a killer car. fresh build too!

with full cage and title it could run the Targa Newfoundland 2011 with ease

I hazard to guess, there are so many circumstances that lead to selling that are unrelated to the car, the only one which would be germaine here would be if this path was better suited by a cup. It's a very nice car/build with what you can see and had to be invested. Someone will get a steal, available cups seem to be drying up, but there are a few of these "baby cups" out there.

Glen

Agreed, this last year was a bit of a "Golden Window" on good Cup availability and price...

Power is equal and can easily be agumented. Gearing is wider and taller, but mostly it's weight. You can get "strippers" down to cup weight or much less, it just takes money....

SpeedGT3

The car turned VERY competitive times on its MAIDEN voyage (first event after its completion) relative to 996 Cup Cars that were at the event. The car did a 1:33.6 compared to a Cup Cars range of 1:32.3- 1:33.4
