I think it was 94 or 95 that they rated the 5.0 at 225. Before that it was 215. Before that it was even less. I think the FFR specs are 1993 or OLDER engine only in stock trim. Must have Power Steering also (thats weird, why is that?). 3" ride height minimum, lots of little "specs" to consider.

I worked the "numbers" a couple of different ways and I think $15K was about the lowest possible number for a spec racer. ADD more to it to make it "streetable" (and LESS competitive on the track at the same time).

Heck, don't worry about the competition, I would build it to DRIVE to the track and do the best I could with what I got! But NO motor mods if you gonna race "in class".
