Looking to buy a track prepped car, ideally AI or CMC caliber. I really want something with a cage already built in and some suspension goodies. The wife is feeling my pain and has given me the ok (as long as the price is right ). I know some of you have track cars that have been parked for seasons and want to just get rid of them...let me know please

I remember racing against this car in SCCA years ago. Not a Mustang, but seems reasonably priced. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/4155262139.html

Well, I actually bit the bullet and opted for a miata today. Definitely not my first choice, but from what I keep hearing, it should be cheap and fun to beat up on track days. I couldn't pass it up with the mods it has and the price the guy let it go for. We'll see how long I actually keep this one for [ 2013-11-03, 08:37 PM: Message edited by: SydeWaySix ]

Greg, thanks man! I'll post some pics later. Its definitely nothing to admire! Power plant is the stock fart can 1.6L motor with some suspension goodies. Nothing serious...just a cheap car to beat on.
Mike, its just for hpde. I don't have the time or funds to go racing. Maybe one day when my kids are older.

Congrats on the miata Ian. I just bought one for autocross duty. I actually was about to send you a pm that I may sell my AI car.
Momentum cars realy do teach you how to get the most out of a car. I started my track experience in a 1400cc Datsun. It was a pretty developed car but I learned a lot about driving in that car.

If you do sell your AI car, PLEASE let me know. I still want a well-sorted Mustang for a track car. The miata seems to handle really well with the mods it currently has but the power and torque are far from that of a mustang

Yep, there is nothing like torque to get the adrenalin going. I will keep you posted as to if I decide to sell my car. I have a lot on my plate right now so it will be a couple months if I do sell.

If you can, pm me a ballpark range of what you'll be looking to get for the car so I can see if I can work it in the budget when you're ready to sell. Thanks!

Just sold my spec miata. Trying to work my way up to a decent track ready Mustang I'd prefer street legal if possible [ 2013-11-24, 06:43 PM: Message edited by: SydeWaySix ]

Preferably $7k and below for something really that's track-only but set up properly (ie: cage, front/rear suspension, etc). I have a couple of leads in the $7500-8000 range for AI type cars but I'm looking for something a bit cheaper if it's not street legal.

Thanks! I have a couple of really good leads on AI spec cars hovering my higher price range but I'm trying to see if I can find something a tad bit cheaper.

True, but both these cars are priced about as much as yours and they're fully race prepped
