    Haven't you sold your 5 cars for the year? If you buy another, you will have to hold on to it until next January.

    I think the roll-cage would cost a bundle.

    Ken, does this mean that there is a Z06 for sale with multiple sets of wheels?

    If you are looking for something ready to run, your best bet is to look here:

    Are you looking for a front running SM? If so, it'll probably cost you more than the Z06 did.

    Looks like 27.5k gets you to the front of the pack.

    Just looking for something to play with and decide if I like it. Max would be $12K. Will have MER inspect it. I know there are several SM guys here so I thought you might know someone wanting to sell.

    Find one and we can go play at the track. I do not know of anyone locally. I believe someone in the post referred you to the classifieds at specmiata.com. I know several guys who have bought from the site and have solid cars. Racingjunk.com and even ebay are good sources to search as well.
    Plus, call Shannon, Julianne, or Jason at Team MER. They seem to have their hands in everthing. They may have a lead.
    Per my pm, call me if you have questions,

    Why are you trying to sign up for Pro Solo and become the next J.Fo?

    "Pro Solo" I think Solo1 is what you are talking about is no longer around. Pro Solo is still here. It is Autocross with drag racing start lights.

    Just looking for more time in the car for a day in the sun. Plus with a track car I don't pay registration or insurance.

    I was talking about pro solo, J.Fo won an event this year in a borrowed Z06. Now that you made me explain the joke it's not funny anymore.

    Want to buy my 93LE and strip it into a racecar? I'm sure that would make a lot of people cry.

    I know of a VERY fast 1.6 in Kansas City that I can vouch for. I am sure it is offered at a good price. It is real quick, I raced against it in ITA as the owner was running both SM and ITA. I can get you his email if you would like to get details.
