Spankin' new gt3 cup car.

[James Brown]

New factory $225,000 cup car at Roger Jobs today for a Canadian client. Won't look like this at the end of the season!

[masraum]

Sweet! I guess those probably aren't street legal, huh?

[herr_oberst]

I wonder what the owners manual for a factory-built race car looks like . . .

"Lifting the car using the hydraulic jacks"

"Resetting the dashboard after qualifying"

"Using the sequential shifter"

"Rear wing adjustments"

"Refilling the fire bottle"

(PS - did you notice how much paint was worn off the clutch pedal?)

[James Brown]

Porsche own's them, no title. Engine sealed. No documentation!!! Must return to Porsche when finished with it. The doors weigh about 7 pounds! Carbon fiber and aluminum, crazy light. But, if I had the cash (and my own track) this is the way to go, just add fuel!

[Z-man]

Want!!

[Won]

I believe the pedal has 3 rubber strips that make it look like worn off paint.



I understand few of us are heading down there this Saturday for the Bullet Racing/PWP open viewing of the car. Too bad I can't make it as I'll be stuck under my own car

[jeffgrant]

That would be our new car.

You can check us out at Bullet Racing | Running in the 2011 Rolex 24 Hrs of Daytona


The team owner and a few of the team members (like Jeff Alton) will be there on Saturday for a little show and tell.

(But it did say $225,000 in the 1st sentence )

Only problem with a factory direct delivery is that there's some assembly required. Unlike Ikea, they don't provide the tools.



The team owner, Steve Paquette, wrote the cheque, and I didn't ask.

I did give him a big hug though.

Weren't you guys going to take it apart and put it back together anyway?

[jeffgrant]

It's a team effort.

The drivers usually take it apart, and the mechanics put it back together.

[HardDrive]

If the weather holds maybe I'll put the family in the P-car and take a ride up there. Sounds fun.

[mpeastend]

Is the $225,000 what the client pays to rent/lease the car for one season or the value of the car?!

[jyl]

What is the performance of something like that, in popular terms (0-60, 1/4, etc)?

[jeffgrant]

I have no idea. I've never seen one even try a 0-60 run, as it's always launched with a rolling start.

I know Mustangs have those stats though.

They don't sound too bad either

No, this is the Quote of the Week.

Well played, Mr. Grant.
