out of his car. That's right folks, Elvis has left the building. The fat lady has sung. The cats out of the bag. Stick a fork in me I am done. I finally decided on a track car and it is Bobby Archer's black GTS # 32. SCCA T1 and VRL GT-2 legal. Balanced and blueprinted engine and transmission,Koni's(ACR), quaiffe diff, full cage, fire suppression, Sparco seat, new harnesses,brake ducting,three sets of wheels, all freshened up and ready to race.
I want to thank everyone who responded to my thread as everyone gave very good advise. I know there is more than one way to skin a cat and I did take every ones opinion to heart. For me it boiled down to two things: (1) I wanted to be as safe as possible(especially after hearing of Henry Cone's rollover). (2) Knowing that I am suffering from OCD, I felt like I would always be asking myself what else I needed to do to the car and end up spending lots of money in the end. By buying this car I am done with the upgrades( Bobby says everything that can be done Legally has been done). I also figure if anyone can set up a Viper correctly it would be Bobby. Bobby also felt that a GT-1 car would be much more expensive to maintain than a GT-2 car.
Now, it's not as pretty as Janni's Patriot (I still can't believe I let that car slip through my fingers)but Bobby thinks it may be a little faster(at least with him driving). I do expect that when all of you fast guys lap me while I'm still in the learning phase that you will at least wave to me as you go by. See ya at the track.
