Having worked on all three, I will pick the FD any day of the week to work on, buy parts for, or drive in traffic. I would definitely pick the FD if anything resembling a curve is involved. Truth told, if I was going to spend the money on either the Nissan or the Toyota that they bring in this country, Id buy a Porsche and laff uncontrollaby.


So the Supra is an overweight pig that doesn't handle that you wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but then you build a new Challenger? Hehehe.

I'm sure it sounds great. And it looks good too. I just thought it was funny.

I'm not a fan of the new Challengers but they do look good as a race car.

Psh. I'd call my uncle and tell him to give you a call, not my dad. Graduation present in May, perhaps... :p

Well in broad strokes figure 18K per seat for a Grand-Am weekend (two drivers per car) and 20K for a World Challenge weekend, with a (large) damage deposit and insurance. Its 85K if you write off one of the cars, 17k for an engine, and 5k for a transmission. Usually require a minimum of 5 races (half season) paid up front.

Cheers!
