Turning this pig's ear into a silk purse follows a common theme here to get this car up to competitive form. Running CAM requires a stock interior after you tear everything out to get the weight down but the rest of the car can be F1 tech ??  SCCA C prepared is where many of us end up and the winners are stripped clean cars with 600 pound springs and are welded up bricks, large go-karts really. I know both the mid atlantic MARS winner and the SCCA  solo winner for multi years and the cars are Ford shaped only. Between the 2 of them they own 3 Mustangs but 8 MX 5 Miatas, that says alot right there. Our cars are short wheel base with a V8 and manual trans and should be the cheap go to platform for budget racing compared to all the BMW's I have to deal with. Your car with 365hp is right at the sweet spot for speed and reliability but gets shoved into the unlimited class around here and then you are out classed by big money GT3's, Vettes and Vipers and end up living in the right lane. I am not *****ing for a new class all our own, just not that many SN95 cars around but turning our Ford Fairmonts into something safe to run at triple digit speeds should not get us banished to hard to comply classes. You have a tough choice to make.</p></blockquote><p></p>
