thedude113 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) ***New Price $4900*** I'm moving overseas for a year and need to sell my track toy. The car is in Norfolk, VA. It can be made street legal in southern VA by putting the second muffler back on and three point seatbelts back in. I let the registration expire last Jan. This is a fun, quick, great handling car that is very economical to run on the track. The car is easy on the brakes and tires. Used tires are easy to come by since it uses the same size as Spec Miata and Spec E30 BMW. This car needs nothing done to it to run reliably and safely on the track in HPDE. It's close to being able to race. 1996 VW GTI VR6 Build Sheet Engine: -162K on stock engine.

thedude113 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 Here are some more pics and some video links to recent track events. This car was built and owned by George Smith, co-owner of (the late) Eurosport in Virginia Beach. This car is well put together, reliable, and an absolute blast to drive!

vr6gtispeed Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Nice photos. I just bought a house with a garage so I can get a track toy. I want to stop tracking my R32 and get something like this. Only if this was for sale a few months down the road. Quote
thedude113 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 That's exactly why I bought this. I have an 85 911 that I was taking to the track. The track bug bit hard and I wanted something that was setup, caged, cheap to run, cheap to fix if I had a money shift, and inexpensive enough to leave at the track if I wrecked it. This car has been great for that and has allowed me to push the car and my skills to their limits safely and without reservations. I'm not going to try hard to sell it until after my next event at VIR in mid September. I'm looking to sell it by December when I have to leave and store it, so it might still be available in a few months. Give me a ring if you want. 831-277-7056. James Quote
thedude113 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 New lower price- $4900!! This is a great way to get out into a track car and learn to push the cars limits without the worry of hurting an expensive car! Quote
