Registered User Posts: 3 03/20/08 08:33:30	Hey guys, I'm a former bmw club racer in the Atlanta area. I had a rough time with my car...my $25,000 engine never did work right so I want to move on to something more reliable and economical. I don't plan to race initially although that may happen when I retire in about 8 years. I'm looking for something for track days with NASA. I know nothing about these cars so I'd like to meet someone at Road Atlanta during a track weekend. I'm looking to stay several notches below cutting edge...probably a 5 year old Stohr with a 1300cc engine or something like that. I know Stohr Cars is local to Atlanta so I might give them a call if nobody local is on this board. Incidentally my budget is about $30,000 though I could go a little higher for a nice deal. Thanks!

Probably it's more accurate to say I'm looking for an older sports racer and I might upgrade to a newer one once I start racing in a few years. However, if I found a screaming deal on a newer car now I could probably up my budget a little bit. Thanks for the info so far guys.

Cheetah is one of the best "2nd tier" DSRs behind the Stohrs and big buck DSRs. I tend to class the DSRs this way: National winners - $70K + (Stohrs, etc) Older Stohrs - $45K-55K (and other aero dynamic designs) The Pre-Stohrs - $20K-30K (AMAC, Cheetah, etc) The Older DSRs - $10K-15K (LeGrand, other homebuilts, etc) This may be too basic an analysis and I have not accounted for the new designs that are being developed (Lincoln, Malley-Allen, Messenger, etc) Good luck, there are plenty of choices out there.

A CSR early ended on ebay this past week with bids up to 26k but it didnt meet the reserve. Sometimes, it just takes an offer. Good luck with your search. Ken Ken

Registered User Posts: 41 05/23/08 19:25:54	you might take a look at sports 2000. for 30k you can get a very competitive car that doesn't require a lot of engineering expertise (like me ). i'll be at the RA national this coming weekend (5/31, 6/1) marc walker
