I may regret asking this but, where would one look for ex-WCTC cars? They have some on race-cars.com. Anywhere else?
Thanks, I think.:rolleyes:

Here ya go. Fast car, won at Long Beach in 2011. No DNF's. Every race it ran it finished in top 10 as I recall. I rented it for double race at Mid Ohio and it made even me look good!

Thanks Bob! I remember that Civic, great car!
Eyeballed this Protege as well. http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/ot...01320862ss.htm
Looks like $25k minimum so far for a WCTC.
Have you tried Racing Junk?

I don't know what happened to this. https://improvedtouring.com...p?t-26649.html
Ps, if you are thinking about actually running, Brandon's car is a steal. He's selling it because he's building a '12 but this one will likely be every bit as good.
That car was sold then traded back to Tindol for a Mazda 6. It is back at Tindol I think?
Hey just wanted to say thanks for all the replies! If you find one for sale post it here as I'll check this thread from time to time. Maybe this thread will entice someone else to look into bringing one over to STU.
I have one as well and just a bit of caution when looking at older WCTC's, they don't automatically transfer in to STU. In my case I am out on a few things, but the biggest issues are having to add well over 200 lbs (almost 300) to the car, reduce the compression ratio (or run illegal and hope I don't get protested) and run smaller tires (not a major thing).
The car as it sits, is one of the best handling and quickest FWD cars I have ever driven, but I really don't want to make a bunch of changes that reduce the driving experience to run for a trophy that I would lose in a second with a protest. If I tow to an SCCA event, then I will just run the car as is in ITE.
Greg and others in the SCCA Club side have been great with communication and trying to help me get the car to fit in, but as I mostly run with a different group up here in Canada that lets me run the car as is, I just want to leave it at that. We actually have a fairly large number of ex WCTC running in Ontario and sometimes they sell pretty cheap. Oh yeah, I also use a Defnder as it is the only comfortable one with SFI ratings, but it was certified in 2009, so I am still good for a few years, LOL. Up here the use of a H&N is still only recommended.

Make sure you get the newest one you can with a valid VTS that fits with the direction of STU.

the best place to find older wctc and grand am st cars are with the teams that have raced them. thats where i got my mustang. particularly in this economy its hard to sell the retired equipment and a lot of it is taking up garage space.
Thanks Eric, didn't realize that some WCTC cars may not fit STU. Good info!Quote:

Its a bit more than that and includes things like in-car adjustable bars, tire sizes, compression and the weight penalty (at least for me) is a little bit more than 5%. My car's VTS is from 2002 and the WC Series adjusted the cars a bit between then and when the direction of STU was redirected this past year. Not saying its wrong or a major issue, its just not to expect to take a car from earlier this decade and even with a valid WC VTS, just add 5% weight and run as is. I would have to do somewhat more than add 5% to run in STU.Quote:

Multiple SRT-4s were raced in the SCCA SPEED World Challenge - Touring Car Series, and in 2006 - their second year of competition - had become one of the more successful platforms in the series. Robb Holland, of 3R Racing, became the first Pro driver to put the SRT-4 on the podium with his 3rd place finish at Road America in August 2006. This was Dodge's first podium and first manufacturer's points in World Challenge Touring Car competition. Holland would finish the season with 3 top 10 finishes and two top 5 qualifying efforts in the SRT-4
In 2007, Stan Wilson won the Speed World Challenge Touring Car Rookie Driver of the Year and the Sunoco Hard Charger of the Year awards driving the Sorted Performance Dodge SRT-4.[ This was Dodge's first title in Speed World Challenge Touring Car.
This car recieved a new engine in 2008, the original engine lasted 2 years of racing. The new engine only has 1 race on it and right at 6 hours of track time.

Or if you want a really wicked sounding 944 for $16,500, Maybe $10k if not misprint http://www.racingjunk.com/Special-Pr...9526/944-.html
Full race Porsche 944 ‘S3’ (968 power)
Motor- 968 motor bored to 3.2 liter (just under 2.9 stock), JE pistons, Pauter rods, ARP fasteners, knife edged lightened nitrated crank, decked head (12.5:1 compression), Web cams, Extrude- A-Honed intake, custom made header and exhaust by Albert Broadfoot, RC injectors, Nology coil and wires, SCCA fuel port, 930T fuel pump – running on stock DME with custom chip- engine assembled by Master Porsche Technician Carl Register of Gainesville Fla.
Transmission - 944 turbo trans with cooler and LSD, 944S2, ring and pinion, lightened flywheel, Sachs clutch, short shifter
Running gear- full Koni coil overs all around w 450# and 550# springs, Racers Edge bushings. Racers Edge camber plates, custom strut bar, Charley Arms, Racers Edge hubs. 10 x 18 3 pc CCW wheels (2 sets) w\285-30 x 18 Hoosiers. Porsche ‘Big Reds’ up front with 944T front brakes on rear and cockpit bias valve. steel brake lines
Body- 944 Turbo tub with all interior sound deadening removed. Custom built 10 pt DOM roll cage with NASCAR door bars by Tommy Riggins Engineering. Custom made ‘saddle bag’ style fuel cell (drops fuel load down low on each side of transmission instead of up high like typical aftermarket 944 fuel cell) with new ATL bladder. Ultralight seat, Sparco wheel. Ultra light weight (2 lbs) fiber glass dash by Broadfoot Racing. Car has recently been completely re-wired with custom harness and battery relocated - all work preformed by Albert Broadfoot.

Misc AFFF 10# fire system, AMB transponder and in car data system, SCCA and PCA logbooks
Also 2002 Pace 20 ft enclosed trailer with tire and fuel racks, new hubs, bearings, brakes.
Many painstaking hours have gone into building and developing this car because I wanted something different to compete in SCCA’s SPO class. Car is 2426 lbs wet, the brakes are strong enough to detach your retinas (there is nothing more fun than out braking and diving under a 600hp stock car in a tight corner like Sebring’s hairpin), It’s reliable and easy to drive. If you want to free up another 20 HP I’d suggest a MOTEC system. I am selling this car due to a divorce and my relocation to another state. Car is currently stored in Jacksonville Fla and can be seen by appointment. This car was driven into the trailer after a SCCA race at Sebring 3 yrs ago and has not been started since. It comes with all my spares and there are numerous other race odds and ends in my trailer that go with it. I will make a great package deal with the trailer or sell separately. The car is straight with some minor dents on right rear qtr panel. Due to my divorce and move I have many, but not all of the receipts. The Porsche Master Tech who built the engine and helped me maintain the car will verify the engine work.
The wheels alone on this car were $3600, the custom bladder for the fuel cell was $1650, the brake pkg was over $5000, Charley Arms $2500
$16,500 for car, $19,000 for car\trailer pkg

damn, SOMEONE is on a roll! lots of cool cars to be had for sure!
