have to look to see what else

The Goods:
Race Technology DL1 data acquisition and DASH 1
Cobra Suzuka seat
Penske double adjustable shocks (freshly revalved in March 2011)
T1 suspension package (obviously)
slight cage modifications to include: stiffer rear section between frame rails, safer door bars with inserts welded in between the bars (NASCAR style), rigid mounted seat frame that keeps the seat tied into the cage/frame and not the floor boards, and added harness bar on main hoop for tall drivers.
Hardbar/Essex T1 AP calipers and rotors

Moroso catch can (one of best on market)
New diff cooler pump
New trans cooler pump



The car is very fast and competitive. Out of 8 races I started this year I qualified on the front row in 6 of them including a pole at Auto Club Speedway and 3 podium finishes. The car out-qualified the field at ACS by a full second and with a full tank of gas (was worried about min weight after the race)and I still set the fastest race lap. Unfortunately it's time for me to move on now. Many know I have gone through a few motors with this car (4), each one let go for it's own specific reason and if I had more time to get the car ready from the beginning I would not have had these problems (well, except for the first one, no way to know about a clogged fuel filter because the previous owner didn't change it when installing a new motor); unfortunately I did not spend this time and it took it's toll on me. This is a former Phoenix built car for Mike Solley and was also owned and driven by Ed Zabinski and Scott Tucker (who will also testify to this car being fast).

Since I've owned the car:

2011:
- 6 front row race starts including 1 pole out of 8 races
- 3 podium finishes
2010:
- 4 podium finishes including:
- 2 race wins
2009:
- 4 podium finishes including:
- 3 race wins

Wow Chris.. Im sorry to see you selling this.

I wish I could afford it, thats for sure! A great deal to be had by someone. To engineer a car like this one from scratch would cost a helluva lot more than what your selling it for.

Good luck!

Thanks! It's been a long journey with the car and I wish I didn't have to part with it because I really enjoy both racing it and the class competition here in CA. But it's time to move onto bigger and better
