I need your help

Please answer the poll for me.

I need to know how much you would EXPECT to pay for an A-Mod Solo-2 car with a proven win record, such that you know you were capable of a paxed 100% at any event. (the car in question would be more than capable of this if we designed it for Ontario events). And this would be a NEW car, not used.

Your comments on what you would actually be willing to pay, what would be important to you in buying one etc. are also appreciated.


Thanks,

I'd be willing to trade my corolla straight up!!:D

Seriously,I wouldn't be willing/able to pay anywhere near even the lowest price in your survey for a autocross car.I love the sport and all but for that kinda money I'm gonna race where races get coverage.Ah crap that means I'd have to go in circles in the dark all night,oh well I guess thats out.
As far as getting 100% paxes,doesn't matter to me if your the fastest guy of all,I just want to beat the 100 or so other drivers in BSS and outrun B1 guys collect my 100 points load up and head out.;)
I also kinda like being able to beat guys that have about 30 times more money invested in their car than I do in mine,the initial cost of the corolla was $200!!

Marsh,

I don't think Formula SAE cars conform to the rules, wheel base too short. I think that is the only non-safety rule there is for A-Mod. I guess if you built one from sratch or stretched a chassis you'd be OK. Doesn't it take about 50 grand to build one of these to even come close to beig competive?

here is a strecthed one for sale for 5 grand US:

What I think is that you should absolutely build or modify one. A-Mod is way to underfilled!

The dwarf and seven are almost ready for the new season, so that is at most two A-Mods, more needed.
