Not Ranked
Since I won't being racing in the Spec Series anytime soon I am going beyond the stock set up. Funny how you start out with a budget in mind and then halfway through you say screw it and go for it all. So far I am only $10K over budget with the paint job ect.
I started out with stock donor parts and when I am done, I think the only thing donor will be the 8.8 axle. After all, is there a need to buy a new axle?????
My little baby will be street legal as well. The only bummer is the fact that I will have to climb over the doors when running up to the store to get some milk and eggs.
Next time the Spec cars are in Vegas I hope to make it and meet some of the Factory 5 Spec Racers. I did have an opportunity to see the yellow SAI car that they race when SAI came into town last year. Also saw the Series 1. Nice looking machine, a bit stiff on the price but very nice looking. I also saw a Series 1 in Newport Beach. It is really a shame they priced the Series 1 out of the market because it is such a nice machine. Since the performance numbers are comparable to the Viper it would seem appropriate for them to be priced in the same range, but that is my opinion.
