Hello, I have a built sleeved motor whipple gen 3 fore triple pump fuel system etc with a manual 6060 trans built by ben calimer.
I'm at a point in life where this car is too fast for the drag strip the way it sits, but too slow for my skill level. I ran mid 10s at the track knowing the car should be capable of 9s or better but also knowing if I wrecked it would be very dangerous.
My car sits a lot. 2015 with only 15k miles. I'm debating on buying a 15 to 17 auto coupe premium, swap everything over then sell the vert and have the 6r80 built by Brett lasala. Then I can figure out the suspension on new setup and increase boost as i go figuring out the car. I'll also put a parachute and roll cage on this car.
Does this sound like a sensible way forward? What would you do? I'm trying to have fun but also stop throwing away money.
I can't buy a 18 plus right because bcm etc are too different?
What would be a good price for 15 to 17 auto? I see prices all over the place, sometimes steals with turbo charged s550s for like 25k.
The other route I considered way in left field is selling the mustang and buy a c8 but i dont have a clue what I could get for my setup that would be reasonable.
Thanks for sharing any thoughts and experience. Just wondering if there's a view I'm just not seeing.
