Now that right there is some good advice! If you're going to buy, go to a sanctioned event, let the owner qualify the car and race the event, and take the car home right from there.

(Ford) folks...just a sampling of two of very best..."hoss"...it's gonna' cost U...!!!......dime rocket good to think about (based on your budget-whatever that is)...at the track/event...seeing is believing car/performance...good too...hope all works out for U...jump in the "pool".....it's lots of fun...not EZ..for sure...but...fun indeed!-Drake

I would be happy to offer reasonably priced consulting services - not internet opinions and advise. Fact based analysis and data (spreadsheets) to assist with your choices. Not on a website but through personal email exchanges and phone calls.

Information is worth what you pay for it. If it costs nothing - you can figure out what it is worth.

I do not have a car for sale - I would not recommend which one to buy but I would give you multiple options much like I do in business when there is a decision to be made.

You weigh the risk and reward to make your decision.

Everybody can give you an opinion. I can give you options.


Ron

Steve don't get fooled, there's lots of good advise from very talented people on this site and its free! All you have to do is sort through it and decide what's best for you, like I said earlier good luck and if I can be of assistance pm me.
