About this Current Vehicle:

This car was originally built as an open road race car, specifically to compete in the Silver State Classic race in Nevada. It placed extremely well, receiving only one DNF in the past 10 years from a faulty hood latch releasing at 150mph.

Now it will see the North East tracks like Pocono and Watkins Glen often, as well as the drag strip from time to time and possibly some road rallies on the west coast every few years, for old time's sake.

Factory Options:

Air Conditioning

Exterior Modifications:

Full GT5 body, de-spoilered, Imola Aluminum wheels (19x13” rear, 18x10” front, with 345-30-ZR19 rear, 285-35-ZR18 front tires), Carbon Fiber front hood, NACA Scoops at rear quarter windows for carb air & oil cooler.

Interior Modifications:

3 point roll cage, 6 point harnesses, Momo seats, Lecarra quick release steering wheel

Performance:

Engine – Ford 351 Cleveland, not quite stock. Full exhaust.

Suspension/Chassis:

Modified rear uprights for tapered wheel bearings, Koni coilovers all around, Reinforced chassis rear, Urethane suspension bushings throughout.

Drivetrain:

Centerforce clutch, 5 speed ZF transaxle, Dana truck u jonts on halfshafts.

Electronics:

Depending on the state being traversed, the following equipment may or may not be used: Valentine 1 radar/laser detector, Bel Pro RX 65 radar/laser detector, Uniden BCT15 TrunkTracker scanner with BearTracker and GPS capability, Garmin GPS with weather capability, Uniden PRO538W CB with NOAA weather.

No room for a radio. Wouldn't be able to hear it anyway.

To-Do List:

More chassis reinforcement, tweak the suspension / tire combination, more structural reinforcement, clean up the interior.

Break shit, fix shit, break more shit, fix it again...
