    thanks, but, I like building stuff on my own. I am a Chevrolet fan as well as a Honda/Acura fan, so I really want to build an Impala racer.

    --EDIT--

    lateapex911, I don't care if YOU think it's ugly, I'm going to race it. anyway, I recently directly emailed someone at SCCA HQ, and they said I can pretty much race anything as long as it gets classified, and I sign all the right papers. So, technically, I could enter a GMC Sierra and have no problem! (good news is, I'm done with the whole Super Touring SUV/Truck idea...for now...)

    Then build a Camaro for ITR. It's a Chebby, it will easily be big enough for you, and NOBODY is running one in ITR that I know of, so you'd still be unique and blazing your own trail. That's always the more difficult path, but it is also a lot more rewarding.

    That's cool, just PM me as you build it and let me know the brand of tires you'll be using on your big old FWD whatever, so I can get in on the stock while it's low.

    As for the thread, my guess is ZDX is either a disillusioned SCCA member, or a NASA guy. Prolly NASA since he hates rear wheel drive.

    NASA? Uh, no clue what that is, bro. I'm pretty sure you don't mean the space people.

    and, no problem apex.

    lol, I just went on to Tire Rack, and the only way I can put track tires on it, is if I put 20" wheels on it.

    I may actually do that, just because Tire Rack is retarded and only have racing tires for cars that cost over $50K.

    If you're going to get 20" wheels, just get spinners and be done with it. They're great for taking out the competitions tires when you're banging fenders.

    This has to be a troll, leading to a Grand Finale in a week on April 1st.
