Whoa, I'm shocked Brian! I still remember when the three of us made the decision to start racing in 05 and you took delivery of this car at ABCC. I'm guessing you just don't have time for racing due to family/business? I know your interest has varied on it the past year+

I sure will miss seeing you at race events, but hopefully you will still do some open track events with the 95R like Northwoods? I'd hate to see you totally drop out of track stuff altogether.

By the way guys, as Brian documented this is an awesome AI race car and is extremely competitive with a good driver. Of course, it's all about the driver.... right Brian!

That is a great price for a car with all of those parts and sorted out. You couldn't come anywhere close to that price if you built it.

I doubt that.

He has an extreme hatred for Miata's.
ZOOM ZOOM!!

I doubt he would want to share his story in the Cobra R forums.

Brian,

Somehow I skipped over this. Nice looking combo, for sure. If trackday guys & gals knew what they really needed, these cars would sell in a heartbeat! I hope it finds its way back to AI soon.

Curious, what the race weight/hp combo?

I agree. A car like this would make a great (and safe) car for a open tracker, ecspecially if they had ambitions to possibly race some day.

I put the car away and will use it as a baseline test car to run against the new car we are building. It will sell when it sells, no big deal.

I am building a 2010 Camaro SS. The car just came in last Thursday. I am going to MAM this weekend just to run the car as is, stock. We will strip it down and start the build next week.


I am done racing AI until we have the new car ready. We will shake that car down running some enduro's until we feel we have a handle on the car.

If you guys are interested following the build, we will be documenting it on the internet. It sure has raised alot of interest within the few people that know about it. (we have been keeping it pretty quiet until the car arrived)

Brian

Not to say that this pertains to Brian or that his favorite car color is yellow but it is kinda funny.

The models lean seductively over the hood of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, wearing only tiny yellow underwear emblazoned with the car's logo. Grasping a wash cloth, they rub down the car until it sparkles as an unseen cameraman asks about the car.
