Race cars, especially GT6s, aren't built /set up to be competitive in one sh=
ot, unless you are Chuck Gee. No rush. That said, as much fun as it may be t=
o build one, spending a little more up front to buy one that has been raced w=
ill probably save money in the long run. All that hardware - dual braking s=
ystem, competition shocks, fire system, roll cage, braided lines, heavy duty=
stub axles, spare wheels, fuel cell, etc, etc, etc is often heavily discoun=
ted in the price of a used race car. =20
You'll still need to build a good engine and do countless other things (race=
ready, ha!) but you can probably save money over the long haul.=20
Who out there has a car for P.J.?
