Well funny thing is, the dude I told you I mentioned to about your trade. Well he got all gung ho and gave me some Auto-X books to give to you. I told him I dont know you, but he gave me the books anyway. So if you want some books on Auto-x I got some for you...lol.

Well, the guy ended up callimng me back after not getting a response from him for 2 days. I finally checked out the car on Saturday and am not as pleased with it as I would have liked.
The car isn't registered because it won't smog (has no cats) so I couldn't take it out for a real test drive. The body had a little rust on the body, which wasn't too bad, but I'm concerned about having rust in hidden places. There are many small things that would need to be done to bring it "back to life" as I did with my Saleen, so I know I'd end up spending a pretty penny cleaning it up.
The motor seemed to run ok but it had a sound that I'm just not used to. I was told it could be that it needs a valve adjustment and a thorough tune up, but who knows, it could be worse and force me to spend a lot more money.
All in all, its a decent car for its age but would definitely need some work both mechanically and cosmetically. I'm supposed to go check it out after he smogs it so I can actually drive the thing, but I'm not as enthused about the trade as I was before. I took my Saleen out today for an AutoX event and it performed pretty well, so I'm still loving my pony ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I am sure it is tough trading a car that You know is in great shape "must be to make through track event's" for something that sound's like it need's a minimum of $2000 buck's to get back up to speed and probably more to handle the rigor's of those event's. Probably more rust hiding in it too! Put that money in the stang and it will do what You want it to do ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif) .

You're much better off looking into a 993. 1993–1997-98. Last of the air-cooled. 3.6 liters, 280 HP. A quantum leap over the old "SC". Or, just forget the Porsche thing, and buy the newest Corvette you can afford.
To be honest, the old 911SC are too old, too problematic if the right modifications were not done to bring them up to date. Even so, a real nice, low mile SC will fetch a big premium and will still be slow. They're just too long in the tooth. Collectors only, ime. I know first hand, as a good friend had an '82 911SC, sold it, and finally got into a '97 Carrera. Oh my, what a difference.

Yea, that exactly what my feelings are right now. Although the Saleen doesn't rail as well as a porsche, I think if I put about $3000-4000 into the stang, it will rail pretty damn good. That same $3000-400 probably won't get me very far with the porsche

my buddy has a fox and a sn95 both with full suspension from griggs and maximum, and they have to be the best handling cars i have ever drove or ridden in, so with some money i know you could make your car what you want. he also does auto x and is apart of nasa and they can keep up or dominate those expensive foreign cars! good luck

Just keep lookin' out for a torque arm and panhard bar which are popping up here and there used. I can tell your on a budget so that's why I mention that. Do that first (assuming the car is already dropped a little) and you'll see how bad the front of the car is. Then do the K member and A arms and you'll have a car that "rails" like you say. IMO.
