...The MINI is gone! All this happened in the last week or so!

Unplanned. Honest. Had every expectation to run the car in 2015 and beyond, and no, the Fiesta ST didn't scare me off. However, a deal came along from a longtime autocrosser/friend that made me say, now's the time.

I eventually wanted to be in a proper RWD car a few years down the road, but when I got the offer from the owner of the car to try his now for half of what I was thinking of budgeting down the road, I ran some numbers and said to myself, "Let's do it."

So in a few days, this will be in my driveway...



It's a 2001 Camaro Z28 1LE. Hardtop! Manual windows & mirrors, cloth seats, and DA Konis and a Strano front bar. LS1, 330-340hp, Tremec 6 speed, and no timing chain tensioner!

It only has 39,000 miles on it and it was less than $6K. Like I said, sometimes deals come along unexpectedly...

I'll run it in FS, even though it will be a little challenging on street tires. I really don't want to do ESP.

 

Is that Kenny's old car?

 

It was Mark Valera's car (NY Region). He ended up getting a C5 FRC that he ran in AS (an identical car to Tony Savini's). He recently sold that to get a C5 Z06. So, the Camaro was taking up space.

 

crazy! congrats?
