Roland, I'll not get into prep/maintance numbers with you

David, When someone builds a $40,000 plus ITA RX7 and still can't run up front then will talk. I have yet to see one built to the max. Some are getting there but not quite. You'll have performance in the $$$$$ and the time to prep the car is the major factors. Not saying no one is trying or doing it well....just not there yet. The only thing we are talking about between an EP and a GP is about $5000. I'm not talking the total price of the car just the difference between the cost of a good stock motor and a ported one. Everything else would be the same, shocks ,trans, bodywork and so on...why would you build a GP ? I ask the question again , why would one want to spend all that money to run a stock engine car. I don't want to get in to the ITA who can win and who can't and is the RX7 able to do it. I run mainly endurance racing with my 7 and kick the CRX on a regular basis. Just don't understand the GP thing.....

Roland
