He was our 2012 Tri-State S/SS Association champ, won two races (drove 200 miles to Hagerstown a few weeks ago and won the $2,000 Lee Sherman Memorial S/SSRace, running low 14.0's and high 13.90's). Also won an IHRA TOC qualifier in 2010 and finished fifth in the world. All at, or neat, 20 mpg gallon with, as Dan said, all the comforts of a typical street car, runs a few tenths under the Index in H/PS. So, there could be a market for such cars.

As a bonus, I've found that type car to be very, very consistent in pure stock form.
....Just kinda boring with an automatic and stock converter.
I would never try driving one to the track with a T 5...I'm sure I could break something.
