Uncle Weld can ya spot me a million-two? :lostmarbles:

That's really cool. I had no idea road going versions of those cars existed. I thought they were only GTP cars.

[Ron in SoCal]

I agree Trey. Short of an F40/50 this is as close to a production racecar chassis as it gets. it has a leather interior, so not quite as hardcore as a the Ferrari, but still does 0 - 60 in 2.6 seconds.

Ron, Fran at RCR has a 962 replica. It isn't advertised on his site, probably because he only sells it as a "track car," meaning if you want it to be street legal you have to make sure it has the right lights, signals, windshield, etc. I know a lexan windshield wouldn't stop you, so it wouldn't be that difficult to build one and drive it on the street. From what I understand it is based on a widened SLC chassis. Imagine how it would go with a 440 LS7 with a set of All pro heads, LS Next block and, well it would need an ultra lightweight billet crank.

...solid roller and Brembo brakes? :lol:

I was just on the GT40 forum tonight. So tempting Matt :D

Buy a driver.......what a concept. :D

[glassman]

Hmmmm, i'm really thinking of a Factory Five GTM for my next build. Thinking, thinking.....would really like to drive one first. But 0-60 in 3.0 with a stock LS-3....got me, well...thinking. Did i mention i'm thinking about it? haha...

Oh, and for about 7% of the cost, course it has no where near the refinement of a Ferrari or the like but hey....

[FETorino]

Me likey this one.:D

That is perfect for car for your club.

It's a completely assembled, rolling chassis waiting for an engine and transmission installation.

I'm not wild about this vid series. Too much of a cheerleading commercial, but this one has commentary from the orginal engineer and sorta captures what we strive to do with these older cars.

In April ... I will be unveiling my new "Track Warrior" line of Track Cars.

Think complete turn-key ... 2800# ... state of the art Trans AM/GT1 chassis ... 12.5" tires on all four corners ... mean brakes ... high travel/low roll suspension ... offset 3-link ... 22 engine options ... 600-1000hp ... 10 transmission options ... full safety equipped ... dialed in by me & ready to drive fast ... in any of 40 muscle car/hot rod body styles.

Sound extremely appetizing...

[mexMan]

Yeah a limited run of those babies got built I think around 1992, and I think it has a flat 6 with two KKK turbochargers, it's just insane, I love watching replicas of the classic le Mans racers being built, and also people who get the real deals on the street, like the Japanese dude who has a street legal Rothmans Porsche Le Mans.

Hi Jerr,
Just teasing you with an appetizer. :)

Full info, photos, chassis design & renderings will be officially released in April.

[Ron Sutton]

Sound extremely appetizing...

Thanks Todd,
At first I designed it completely for myself. I took all my race car designing knowledge & experience and designed myself a really fun track car ... that will be street legal-ish.

I didn't design it to be sold to the Pro-Touring market. Heck, I didn't even know what Pro-Touring was until I already designed the car, built the chassis, and mounted the body & powertain.

I didn't design it to win any "Street Car" competitions. It wouldn't be fair. These Warrior cars would literally be competitive in the Trans Am series if the right engine & transmission options are selected.

I designed it for me because I wanted a fast, fun to drive, incredibly well handling track car for road course track days & autocross. I also plan to do events like Silver State Challenge with my 36 year old daughter co-piloting plus the 341 mountain road challenge, put slicks on to drag race it and of course to drive it on the street often.

Mine is going to have a full leather interior, insulation, stereo, cool air venting, etc. I could add air conditioning, but I'm going to pass for now & see how I like it without.

I toyed around with a few body styles because I like a lot of different 50's-80's cars. I love the 80's Monte Carlo SS Nascar look. Love the nostalgia of 50's T-birds, Chevies & Fords ... and grew up with 60's & 70's muscle cars. I finally landed on a 9/10 scale 57 Chevy body for mine. I think people will get a kick out of the master list of 40+ body styles I can build these cars in.

Ron I know they're gonna be sick. I can't wait for the unveiling...:cheers:

Wow, can't wait to see more detail. What a great idea Ron.

I can't see a 962 without thinking about Al Holbert.
