$600!!!!
Now that I have your attention. First off, this isn't a road race car, yet. A friend of mine from Toyota built this car to compete on the little oval at Shenandoah speedway in the new import series this year. He has decimated all of the competition, typically lapping many of his competitors and always having a huge margin of time.
I don't have all of the specifics on the car. I'm pretty sure that the suspension and brakes are all stock, and the engine is also "stock". However, I know for a fact that the car is mechanically sound and ready to race. For $600, it will not come with a seat, but it already has a roll cage, although I'm not sure if it won't need some modification to road race, a new paint job, it is already gutted completely, and has a set of almost brand new Hoosiers which he said are worth $600 alone. The car looks in really good shape and apparently is crazy fast.
This might be a great starter car for anybody looking to get into any kind of racing and it is apparently a ton of fun to drive. I would have already bought it if I had the room and wanted a FWD car. For anybody that is interested, feel free to PM, IM, or email me, or go ahead and give Chris Headman a call at 540-421-2342. He's a great stand-up guy and he will be straightforward about any questions you have. The only reason he is getting rid of it is b/c apparently the import class didn't take off this year as well as anticipated, and he car will be obsolete in October, so he wants to build a domestic car so he can play some more.[/b]
