Re: Bench Racing: FWD converision-what would you build?
I don't know what engine, but I really wish I could build a Magnum Wagon. I wouldn't want to drive one everyday, but I think that it could make a mean looking race car.

I always wanted to build a Prius racecar, just to piss of the tree huggers.

Re: Bench Racing: FWD converision-what would you build?
If you want to qualify well and go racing for a while with the same combination, build a little neon 2dr with the 09 or so 360 @ 275 hp.
Start out in GT/CA and work your way up to GT/AA. If I was a mopar guy I would be on it, but got other things I'm working on. The cars don't have to be 2500 ship weight anymore, just weight in at min. 2670. I'm not a ford guy either, but you got to hand it to Jim Evanuik, his ZX2 is sharp and fast. Ernie Neal SS354 |

Re: Bench Racing: FWD converision-what would you build?
If I were building one:
Ford, Escort ZX2, like Jim Evanuik. 351 like his, or a 352 crate. Mopar, Dodge Stratus with a smog 340/240-280 motor or a DP motor.. GM: no real preference....we have enough Cobalt/Cavalier/Sunfire/G5 cars. It would have to be something rare (like the Caddy of Ken Sharp). maybe an Olds Alero.
