Yup, it's true it's true. I'm moving on to another project so my baby needs to go. She's been unbelievably good to me this year but I've found a new class I'd like to run. (No, I won't tell anyone)
So the icon is for sale. Car has some history and has seen a few drivers. It's the original MA Shaw car campaigned by Jon Holder. Won a lot from what I was told lol. I bought it as a caged tub from cali 3 seasons ago. I won the Super mod championship a season later and have accrued quite a few podiums along the way. The car is built to be legal in SCCA GT2 and can be run in NASA and CR Cmod or SMod. I'm goin to list everything I can think of, car has an insane amount of mods and custom work. There's a link to my build thread which I haven't updated in quite some time and link as many vids as I can so you can see how well she runs.
Times around the track prove her worth...
So mylaps has changed... damn. Ok, lol. My best time at VIR was a 2;05 with a failing fuel pump. Best at NH was 1:09.7, WGI was 2:03.8, LRP 57.4, Mid O was 1:34.8. Some were race times, some qual. That's this season, basically all I've done are SCCA nationals. Fast times all done on slicks left over from the previous season, the 2:03 at the glen was done on tires with 22 heat cycles on them. I was planning on 2 flat for the CR race but it rained by the time I got there. Mig Aponte Rios drove the car to low 2:04's having never driven it before and only having 3 days ever at the glen. And HE SUCKS!! Lol, kiddin Mig!! But obviously a decently easy car to jump in and go fast.
So, mods list:

Good luck with the sale, hope this car stays on the East Coast.
Thanks man. Lol, honestly I think I'd rather not see it, gonna be painful getting rid of a car with every toy possible.
I'm editing the first post now, there's still so much more to list and technically many drivetrain choices. Be up shortly!
This car is way cheaper than building a competitive se36.
BUMP! for a great car. Trust me. I drove it. (but i suck at it) LOL
GREAT car. Fast as hell and very stable. BUY IT NOW! (so Phil can go to the Caribbean in the off season)

Willing to part one of those diffs or only going to buyer of entire car?
Not gonna sell seperate, different diffs need different gears. And these are crazy loud, not really streetable IMHO
LOL, meant different tracks need different gears. Fine fine, they're not loud. But yeah, wayyyy to built to sell without big money since the new owner would need them again anyways.
Do you have any vids of this car
Your build thread is just amazing, i wanna see it running
