Am I correct in assuming that this means you could use flaired fenders? and the ACP front/rear fascias with the built in spoilers?

"Hoods (engine covers), front fenders, front & rear facias, and
side skirts may be modified or replaced, and may be attached
with removable fasteners. Fenders may be flared as per Street
Prepared. Non-metallic fender liners may be modified, replaced,
or removed."

Also is there a rule against the tires sticking out a little from the fenders?

RAFTRACER

Answers to your questions. Yes and then No. You are allowed to replace the body panels that they make provisons for , but there are no rules about tires protruding from the bodywork.

But you better stiffen the suspension if you plan on sticking those wide tires on beyond the fender lip. Many of the ASP or SM2 vettes I've seen with tires sticking out have cracked their fenders. FWIW

Lancer033

okay, cool. I've got a long list of plans to build up to a competative SM2 car. Brakes are done, suspension and engine work are going to be done this winter. Bodywork is probably going to have to wait until next year which shouldn't matter too much for autoX anyways, more for the HPDE side of things.

I just want to know how a lower cost alternative to track days ended up so d___ expensive all of a sudden

True, but if you use stock 04 Z06 shocks or C6 Z06 shocks. The shocks will bottom out just before the fender hits the tire.

except paint it red??

While we're on the subject, what kind of hp and weight does it take to be nationally competitave

0ATI Performance

Blue Corvettes are faster... just ask Danny (RAFTRACER)

SM2 has all types of odd cars running at different power and weight levels nationally. Corvettes, older RX7's, Porsches, supercharged Miatas, etc. that all do reasonably well.

It also depends a lot on the course design. Corvettes are big and fat and the trend (in SCCA) towards narrow, maintain-speed style courses gives the smaller cars a big advantage. Besides you can only put down so much power in 1st and 2nd gear...

that's only because I've haven't been around

I think Bob's car tipped in at around 2900#. I'm still waiting for my hearing to come back after being gridded next to it in DC!

Lancer033

2900?? guess I need to dive back into the rule book and figure out how to get my car on a diet

TedDBere

I think Bob sells a lot of parts that can help you get there. FWIW, shoot him a PM.

I loved his headers too, but I'm not sure he's selling those.
