Gary, if I beat you here, my apologies. :)

edit: grap on my speeling, typing, and coding :roll:

Nick Koan 2004-08-02 06:12 PM
I got $5 on it.

On a plus note, its already got SECCS stickers, so you won't have to waste time putting your own on it :lol:

ArthurS 2004-08-02 06:22 PM
Jeebus!

Now.....I should sell my car and just drive that on the street!

:lol:

tysonK 2004-08-02 06:43 PM
22k..

friggin A, buy it and start parting it out...

Kostamojen 2004-08-02 07:16 PM
Dibs on the suspension :shock:

Gary selling the sheehan mobile makes me just sad :(

Dean 2004-08-10 03:54 PM
Well, I didn't get it...

We exchanged emails while I was in Memphis, but nothing I could do from there...

He already had a solid deal setup by Sat. when I called him, and they had until last night to come through with the money, and damn it, they did...

I had it figured out where unloading the Stealth, and selling some of the spares I would end up only 5K or so out of pocket...

Crap....

Oh well... Now I don't have to find a source for 116 octane... :(

Kevin M 2004-08-10 03:55 PM
Yeah, that would be sweet to geet you out in D mod where you belong. :P

Nick Koan 2004-08-10 03:56 PM
Damn, that would have been crazy if you bought it. Oh well.

AtomicLabMonkey 2004-08-10 04:02 PM
22k is pretty good for a fully sorted racecar... too bad he already unloaded it.

Actually, it was not going to be the autocross car... But it might have been fun to try... can you imagine John Riggs announcing... "TTOD for fendered cars goes to the WRX...." :lol: :lol:

I honestly don't think Gary's car would have been any faster than your STX car in AutoX Dean. It's not like his car has gobs of power or more traction than your car... in fact, if it's still in USTCC trim it weighs about 300lbs more than your car, and makes less power. Plus the PAX for that thing would own you.

Well, after he takes out alll of Gary's Victory Weight, it would weigh what, 2400 pounds?

You are probably right, but it is a cool thought...

Good question... sure a lot of the interior's been removed, but an extensive cage has been installed... I'd guess it's not much lighter than the stock 3100, if not more. Plus, that car's still got only a stock turbo so the engine can't really make more than about 300hp (assuming the intake restrictor's been removed, othewise significantly less). That's about what Dean's making as it is... give ore take 20hp, which isn't going to make a huge difference in AutoX which is far more about handling than power.

I still think that Gary's car vs. Dean's car, in AutoX, would be a wash... but that DM PAX factor is a killer.

Now, put Gary's car on a track, and watch Dean's car get eaten up in a hurry.

And after Dean installed a shortblock and larger turbo on the car? It's not like he'd have to run a stock motor with bolt-ons in Modified. But it's all hypothetical now anyway...

That would've rocked out at Fernley. And who cares about pax, when you can get TTOD?

That's what we were just talking about... Dean's little red subaru is already as fast as Gary's car in Solo2. He wouldn't have been able to get TTOD, he'd run the same speed as his STX car but would have done it under DM's pax! :shock:

Now, if Dean, as Kevin mentioned, did a large displacement swap and turbo, I/C, etc... he might have a shot, but he could do that to the red car... there's nothing special about Gary's car as far as AutoX. Now, if we're talking about tracking the car... that's when all of Gary's work comes into play: the brakes, bearings, suspension, swaybars, tires, aero, rollcage, etc. are all huge improvements over the red suby.

MikeSTI 2004-08-10 08:22 PM
I think it was more about the parts package and the fact he would have a car in the end that only cost 5K? Dean am I wronge here? :shock: :D

Dean 2004-08-10 08:54 PM
It was about getting a fully preped and proven car to track/hill climb/possibly race car with roll cage, setup data, spares for it, and the red car, extras to sell, motivation to get the Stealth out of the driveway and the hauler fixed, all for about 5K out of pocket... Oh, and it would be really cool...

If I hadn't been in Memphis, it would probably be in the driveway pissing off my next door neighbor.

tysonK 2004-08-10 09:33 PM
hopefully you can buy the next USTCC WRX for sale.


doh!
