I don't have a dog in this fight, but just for S&G's I was thinking a 3rd Gen could be built out to around 700hp NA and pair that with a early 70's boxacuda @ close to the 3200lb weight and that could be a very intriguing race.
anyway, it's all mental masturbation; nobody is racing nobody in KC for 500 clams.
My late father built that car for me initially and 500,000 wouldn't be enough to part from my grips but if 500 won't do it then what do you suggest for a dollar amount.....and what do you know about racing in Kansas City?
