Brought another 2G home
So I brought another one home. Basically a parts car for my ITS habit with a blown o-ring. Gonna strip it and sell off all the stuff I won't use. But it appears the tub is solid. Maybe better than what I started with when i did my IT car. So I'm thinking of setting it off to the side and slowly building up a Production car. I know some of you Prod guys are on here. Can you point me to the good Prod sites. And what is the general consensus on the competitiveness of a tin-top 2G?

Congrats on your good hunting.

It's actually got the aero kit and all the pieces are in good shape. I got pretty wet when I saw that.:D

Cool. I've not had an opportunity, or frankly a reason to get back to that junkyard. So you don't need that wing (let) now huh?

Not now.:D

"Tin top", I like that term. Mine has no sunroof, either. Those models seem hard to find.

Chris The 2nd gen is actually quite competitive in Production now. I personally believe the 1st gens still have a slight rules advantage, but the 2G, is catching up. The question you really need to ask is; do I want a "regional" runner or a "national" contender. We won the So-Pac region quite handily last year, but the National series is really quite different. I would say that one could get away with a $30-35k regional car and be real competitive. Once you move onto the National scene, I would say minimum $50-60K to play with the big boys. A lot of the front-runners are way beyond these figures, at the National level. I don't know of many web-sites that have good information but the following should help, as contacts: http://www.mariahmotorsports.com http://www.mazdatrix.com http://www.sdjmotorsports.com/ http://www.trrotorsports.com/ They are all involved in E-Prod racing.

Thanks for the info!
