..How $$$ to get a car T-1 ready ???..
As I understand it a T-1 car has a completely stock engine.
But how much would it cost to prepare a car with what is
required ?
such as Roll Cage
Safety Harness
Improved Brakes
And whatever else is required....thank you

figure approx $25,000 to fully prep
there are a few used T1 cars out there for $30-$40K
roll cage <- lots of time here
seat, steering wheel
Harness system.
window net
fire suppersssion system
remote electric cut off switch and fire switch
new or updated and dyno tuned engine, new CPU, tuned for 110 octane
depedning on the age of your engine, figure a new engine
remove cats and mufflers, install T1 exhaust system from headers back
radiator
transmission update and race prepped and cooler added
Diff update and race prepped
oil cooler and accusump
new bearings.
T1 suppension and bushings
17" wheels all around - two to three sets of wheels needed plus race rubber on all sets
stock brakes, better brake pads and fluid
Spare parts galore
I am sure there is more too.

I called Joe @ Phoenix and he told me about 25k to convert my street car. I found a decent car for 40k. There are some for 30k that will cost you more in the long run. Some are 40-50k for a good car. If you want a Viper there is one for 85k.

Here's a thread from Joe listing cars he has for sale. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1515583Buying a car that's already ready done would be your best bet
