GT1/Trans Am Camaro - cheaper and more fun that T1!
SOLD SOLD SOLD All mechanicals are fresh - dyno time only on motor...
Selling my GT1/Trans Am car - while not a Corvette - you could certainly put a C6 body on it... Oddly a C5 body would not work.
The neat thing about this car is that you have a lot of opportunities to run. While you are going to have a tough time beating some of the 300k GT1 cars at Trans Am and SCCA nationals, you're not going to be a back marker either. You should be able to win some regionals and compete in NASA, MidWestern Council, EMRA and run Vintage Historic events too since this has run in the Trans Am series multiple seasons.
The car is sensory overload... The most amazing and violent car I have ever driven... With every shift you are pressed hard back into the seat as if you have been rear ended by a semi... It's just fast and suprisingly, not that hard to drive... Not to get 100% out of something like this certainly takes some seat time.
As of right now, the fresh motor was just installed this week and should be running by weeks end. Once it is dyno tuned, it will be available for delivery.
Some details on the rebuild:
New Weisco Pistons
Machining the crank
Cleaning and Honing the block
Installing new rings
Angle milling the heads
Installing new set of keepers
Valve job on heads – resetting the spring pressure etc
Installing new springs, most likely new lifters.
New exhaust seals
New head ARP head studs
And some other things that I will have to itemize.
Asking a very reasonable $27000 with all the spares and tires. You just need to pay your entry fees and fuel bill and you're good on tires and brake pads for almost two seasons if not more. Obviously will consider offers if you can show me a better deal out there or selling the car without spares, but to be honest you would be crazy not to take it all.
Again, tt will have a fresh motor, a just gone through trans as well as a spare trans. We have a ton of spare parts as well. Will consider trades for fun street/muscle cars or sports cars. Expecially a late 60's Camaro, a C2, C3,C5 or C6 Corvette, Mustangs, Vipers etc... but really would prefer a cash deal.
Here is some info on the car:
2000 Camaro Gt-1 based on Trotnow "Speedway" style chassis (original Max Lagod GT1/Trans Am third gen car from early 90's) ran Trans Am for many years, 2 Natl wins in 08, runoffs finishes in 2007-13th, 2008-12th. 23 degree 358: Bowtie, Brodix, Callies, Crower etc, Saenz 910 5 speed, quick change, remote Fox/Penske shocks, big CNC/Wilwood brakes, carbon fiber 4th gen body, radials, coolers and pumps for rear dif and trans, fire system, etc. Plenty of spares: hood, complete Saenz910 w/ addl new spare dogs and bearings, 7.25 clutch and discs, 8 spare wheels and tires including new rains + 6 fresh sets of Hoosiers, W5 hubs, new rotors, new PF pads, 8 QC gearsets, driveshafts, suspension, Comes with radios, transponder etc.
The car has had some further development since it's 12 place finish in the Runoffs in 2008. This is a really good car at a great price I am open to all offers, but you just need to show me where there is a better deal than this out there.

In our old fun, "everyone had money" market, this would be a 45-60k car.

bump for big price drop! This economy has swung a big hit on the race car market!
Who hasn't dreamed of driving a Trans Am car!? Here is your chance for about the same price as a top running Spec Miata!

Another price drop - a dramatic one at that... So tempted to keep this thing and run Trans Am... just don't have the support I need to do so.
This car is not like a T1 car or even an A-Sedan car. You need help at the track. It's has huge compression and a big cam and it's a bit bitchy the 1st time you start it for the day... This is a real race car - not some drivable street car that you just hop in and drive off in. That being said, no way, you're going to go any faster for this kind of money or find more places to run. You can run in Trans Am or SCCA Nationals and do fairly well and spend about 10% of what the others guys are. Again the motor is fresh as is the tranny. I'll even throw in a 55 gallons drum of Sunoco, so truly you just need to pay an entry fee and you are set. It does need an updated harness too, but we can work that it if that helps.
Starting my Grand Am season next month and need to get this gone.
I cant imagine there being a better deal out there, but if there is but you want this car, let me know - i am willing to talk... darn economy! What a crazy buyers market this is.

This is an excellent deal on a car with TA history, plus fresh motor and
tranny.

Bump for the OP. Great car and deal. If this came up last year I might've thought to get it over the T-1 car
and yes, quick change rear with 8 different gear sets!

Just curious, but have you considered renting it out for someone to run in your local series? I worked with a guy that did that for spec 911 racing a couple years ago. I'm not sure how the deals worked out regarding all the legal stuff, etc; but it can't be too hard.
edit: Oh, and you might want to post it on www.frrax.com as well.
Anyway, bump for a badass race car.

thanks guys... I would rent it out, but just don't have a team to help me do that...
I had a deal pending last week, but it just fell through today... This economy has hit our sport hard!
