I'll use secret code when I am joking.

Okay so this car was like 3350 stock, M6, t-tops and cloth interior.

So we could potentially keep the AC, and maybe even throw in some subwoofers.

This car alread has weight reduction. Heck I have to put some stock stuff back on!!!

Honestly John, the only reason we wanna donate is because we DO NOT want to lose to a ford...and then have to hear it from every ford owner in America.

Sounds like John wants to win on the hustle instead of speed and power.

please don't go with a bolt-in cage, the SCCA only allows bolt-in cages for showroom stock cars, once you start doing any kind of engine or suspension mods they require you run a weld-in cage even with cars that barely push 250hp.

Anyways what kind of wheels are you looking to put on there?

Wheels are completely open at this point, would like to go with wheels that don't require much grinding. I'm looking to avoid Welds for this reason, I had to grind the bejeez out of my rear calipers on my Formy to fit 15x10 Welds back in 2000. I guess I'm hoping to get Bogarts or Centerlines.

I say we do a power trip from Chicago down there! Rolling DEEP!!! I am sure since so many people want to go already we could get hundreds of Fbodys/vettes heading down. Thanks for the info PSJ! Keep the info rolling.

I also like the idea of everyone donating some cash to this project!! If 2000 members donate $25 you would have 50k which should be more then enough to build a sick big cube turbo motor with sponser support. Can't lose this one guys.
