Whoa, I'm shocked Brian! I still remember when the three of us made the decision to start racing in 05 and you took delivery of this car at ABCC. I'm guessing you just don't have time for racing due to family/business? I know your interest has varied on it the past year+

I sure will miss seeing you at race events, but hopefully you will still do some open track events with the 95R like Northwoods? I'd hate to see you totally drop out of track stuff altogether.:cryying:

By the way guys, as Brian documented this is an awesome AI race car and is extremely competitive with a good driver. Of course, it's all about the driver.... right Brian!

That is a great price for a car with all of those parts and sorted out. You couldn't come anywhere close to that price if you built it.

I understand. I should have included a smilie.

Personally, I think he should go straight to a Ferrari:

Brian,

Somehow I skipped over this. Nice looking combo, for sure. If trackday guys & gals knew what they really needed, these cars would sell in a heartbeat! I hope it finds its way back to AI soon.

Curious, what the race weight/hp combo?

I agree. A car like this would make a great (and safe) car for a open tracker, ecspecially if they had ambitions to possibly race some day.

I put the car away and will use it as a baseline test car to run against the new car we are building. It will sell when it sells, no big deal. :beer:

I am building a 2010 Camaro SS. The car just came in last Thursday. I am going to MAM this weekend just to run the car as is, stock. We will strip it down and start the build next week.


I am done racing AI until we have the new car ready. We will shake that car down running some enduro's until we feel we have a handle on the car.

If you guys are interested following the build, we will be documenting it on the internet. It sure has raised alot of interest within the few people that know about it. (we have been keeping it pretty quiet until the car arrived)
