Default Autocross car for sale

This car has always been a strong performer, it was built form a fire salvage shell in 2004, and has had a lot of development over the years. Very tuneable, responsive chassis, excellent power, very fast in the right hands. It is a consistent trophy or win contender at Nationals, especially now on concrete. Take it home for $30k - inquire about the enclosed pace trailer set up for it if you need one - contact me at sd_whitney@yahoo.com

I saw (and definitely heard) it in action at nationals. Looks like it'd be a heckuva fun car! Unfortunately, there is no room in the garage for yet another race car. I'll trade you a BSP prepared C4 corvette though!

Not another big build like this one, will be running a stock car for a while.

Others have asked, this car would work best for track with the following additions:
1) EOC/trans coolers and normal brake cooling mods
2) Nascar style drivers door protection added to the cage
3) Possibly reinforced hood (stock, ACP etc)

1) I agree
2) I agree
3) It only has to be strong enough to hold the paint up, right

Thanks for the plugs. This car is not just a pile of parts, it has been tuned and tested, and proven fast - it would be even faster with a driver less hamfisted than myself
