1993 Probe GT 2.5 V6

[benspeed]

Hi - has anybody raced a Probe GT in ITS with any success? Good weight, decent motor. FWD not my favorite but a good rain car.

Feedback folks?

I know it wasn't ITS(or SCCA lol) but:
someone was running one at hyperfest but I don't know what engine it had and I didn't get a chance to check it out.
I was entertaining a guest and I think she must have distracted me...

seems people either love or hate those cars... They always had my interest but still have never owned one let alone raced it. Knew a kid in high school that had a wicked fast probe GT (v6)

you're kidding right?

Ford?
FWD?
ITS?
think about the combination. (Same goes for the MX-6 I once owned)

todd Reid runs that white probe you saw hyperfest. Its definetely an underdog in ITS, its biggest problem is the brakes. If you would like to get in touch with Todd let me know, he is a great guy and would love to help....

You need some professional help......and I don't mean with your racing!!

(is that the kind of feed back you were looking for?? )

Yeah, my wife says I need autotherapy.

I found a deal on a fully prepped Probe - not quite ITS legal but a clean looking car. I think Jake had it right:

Ford?
FWD?
ITS?
think about the combination - yeah - not a winning car.

Check out the link the the car:

This guy will be lucky to get $3K and must have $8K or more in the car.

I sold my Audi and now have some money buring a hole in my pocket. Better to pay down some debt.

Darrell just bought Tim Estes old ITS Mazda - I might get a chance to run in that.

Pat Kane ran one up here in NeOhio for several years with pretty good success. He said that getting the suspension right was one of his biggest challenges. He's since moved on to an Integra.

Chris Marchand campaigned the Ex Dick Ruhl Probe GT with success in ITS about 6 years ago. The setup was the key. He also picked up an ex Nonamaker MX-6 pro car that was not as quick. If you want his email pm me as he has moved on to many other race cars, but can probably clue you in to the ins and outs of the Probe GT.
