[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 6543665, member: 6247"] Brian and All: Having "[B]been there and done that[/B]" I would advise against using an R simply for the reason these are rare cars and will be quite valuable some day. If someone is hell bent on building an R, throwing caution to the wind, I would choose a 2000 R even though it's possibly the worst choice of the bunch. I'm sure Fred would disagree and I can't say I'd blame him for what he's been through with his car. I will fully admit that I'm not up on the rules for AI and which R would be the best choice. I'm simply going on the most awesome engine with a car that has an IRS. I'm a big IRS fan. IMHO you're going to struggle getting a 2000 R to the 3,000# mark. (sans driver) It's a damn heavy car. With a monster motor! (my favorite part) And I'm not a huge fan of the SN-95 platform, even though I own two of them ;-) My personal choice would be an S-197 chassis. But again, I'm not familiar with the rules. So I'm sort of at a disadvantage giving my opinion regarding this. Hope that sheds a little light on the murky water. :-D :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
