My NASA AIX "outlaw" race car

[99COBRA2881]

I hauled the car 280 miles round trip today for my NASA tech inspection. Only had a few issues that Ill get squared away this week.

I had to take pictures for my NASA log book so heres my idea of a NASA AIX outlaw car.

Good ole red, this car was the beginning of my on track experience.

Here's the end result.

Thanks for looking, :beer:

[racebronco2]

The car looks good. Are you planning on running in the nationals at mid ohio?

 

[99COBRA2881]

Thanks guys,

Carlos,
Id like to race Mid-O but my first race with NASA is this next weekend. It may say AIX but the car is built to Agent47's " AIX Outlaw" rule set. Im no where near what real AIX cars HP levels are.

car looks great. how dose the car run with the R wing and no splitter.

 

[STAMPEDE3]

Good question! I'll post back next week. I have a few splitter ideas planned.

Any time, but the seat isnt adjustable and its a looong way to the go pedal. :beer:

I realize that there is no way anyone can touch groswald with the power he has 800+rwhp.

Corey has asked me to race with you guys for years now but the cost is just too much for me. My understanding is that you guys are racing with the st2 rules, something like 8.5lbs per hp. At 553hp i am more a little less then 7lb per hp.

Really like.

Very nice looking exterior. Any details on what is under the hood and pics of the suspension?

Ah the pics make it look perfect, trust me shes a race car. Paint is faaaar from showroom pretty and its got some character on the right rear fender from the previous owner racing hard.

I built the car to race in SCCA ITE/ITO I didnt really build to any rule set but it fits really well into the Outlaw rule set.

The jump from open tracking to racing really hasnt been that much more expensive. Granted I just didnt decide mid season I was going to go racing, it took me years to get the car built and get out there last season. The learning curve comes at you fast and theres a lot to remember but thats what checklists are for.

Really like.

Thank you, I finally have the car looking like I think it should look.

Car was originally a '00 Mustang GT that now has a built DOHC that put down 372 rwhp with < 1 hour on the engine.

Front end is the MM setup, rear end is an IRS. Coilovers all around.

The car isnt a Cobra but it doesnt know that! :coolman:

I wondered whether it had an IRS or not. It looks like it will be a lot of fun:rockon:

 

[yuke175]

is that your exhaust in the fender?

 

[99COBRA2881]

is that your exhaust in the fender?

Sure is. Not enough ground clearance for regular side exhaust and the stock IRS exhaust routing is right under the rear diff so I ran it up through the rear seat area and then out through the body. Ive got some aluminum flat plate that Im going to make some oval exhaust bezels out of and rivet them to the body.

Pass side.

I love that exhaust you have any pics of the inside. and how is the Tamp inside the car with it in there

I'll get some interior shots up soon. I stuck two 5"x10" sheets of silver reflective tape on the bulkhead behind my seat and I'll be wrapping the exhaust inside the car with header exhaust wrap.

Im hoping with the exhaust wrapped it will be cooler than the exhaust dumps. They were in a bad location underneath the car just heatsoaking the floor sheetmetal, rear diff and fuel tank.

* AHHH...someone bought mark reed's old 00 car. wow.

* AIX Outlaw is a California only class, right? Where are going to race this car?

* NASA Nationals. Were two real AIX cars at 2011 NASA Nationals. The rest is field filler and they race for 3rd spot on the podium. You arent going to win the first couple of times anyway.

* what about your car is NOT American Iron legal?

That side exhaust looks pretty sweet:rockon:
