John, the new car is a 2011 Focus which will run a 2.3 OHC Ford and a GForce 5 speed similar to what I am running now. The SS/CX index got murdered by a V6 car a couple of years ago, the index got lowered a full .5 seconds in one shot so isn't nearly as desirable as it once was, just want to go faster. Obviously an inline 4 cylinder doesn't stand much of a chance heads up with some of the killer comp elim V6 parts that are available but so be it.

Before I get too far into the Focus project, I need to complete a tube chassis for a SS/DX Honda Civic with an S2000 motor for a friend. It should be ready to race for this coming season, pretty slick little car.

Dick, be honest, on numerous occasions on Class Racer, you have proposed eliminating classes. You would prefer a world with 6 classes total if you had your choice. Sorry that I race one of those classes that you would cut, don't expect me to quietly go along with your proposals though.
