Default Re: Lil IHRA classification help please!! Newbie Alert!

Completely agreed. A few PS cars down here but not many.There are some C/M cars I looked at turnkey just couldn't find the right one. Plus I want the kids to get an education as we progress through this. There is a 3rd gen Camaro C/M car down here for sale that goes pretty far under the index for $7500. Its just waayyyyy to rough for me. A bud bought a Malibu wagon C/M car that goes 4 tenths under in the heat for $5k TURNKEY!!! Wish I found that one first and I have asked for dibs when/if he ever tires of it.

Yes, no sense in investing in something that's not clean and worth the money. It may not be right thinking but my thought process has always been if the body/interior is rough was the drivetrain done well and is it safe? It's just my personal preference but I'd rather go slower in an above average clean car that's safe.

HOWEVER.. have an additional advantage..

We can put on our wide wheels and tires and go Road Racing or Auto Crossing.

Which NO Stocker or SSer can do...

I chuckled when I read that Dan.
I could do the same with my PS Mustang.
It still has front and rear sway bars hooked up as well as the factory struts and shocks. I also have a set of 17 x 9 wheels w/275 radials if needed.

Not sure how my Pure Stocker would work on a auto-x with those 4.56 gears tho.
Overdrive trans is a push button switch away.


I have tried autocross with my other '95 Mustang GT and man is it rough on tires and suspension parts. But it sure was fun.
