Yeah, forget the LS, that's gonna be way out of normal 'stanger's price ranges probably. But the engine is identical between the two cars...so if you get a "Base" BOSS302, you get all the hardcore engine bits.
Of course the "easy" alternative is to just go out and buy a used C6 Z06 and walk all over Mustangs, but that's not an option if you want to race AI
When you thinking about going "all the way" with your car?
I think that even the "base" BOSS will be north of what I'm willing to spend on a theoretically disposable car... And yes, I hear you about the 'vette, but dude, I BLEED Dearborn Blue. I've had a '68, an '88, and now the '06. The AI/CMC program just looks like too much fun, and the racing is actually very close, so I would call that the base class, but honestly I'm really wanting to jump into the enduro series, not necessarily the sprints. To do that, though, the car has to class in one of the sprint groups, so... Enduro on Friday, TT or race on sat/sun.
As for timing, I'm really in no rush to rip the car apart, but I'm kind of eyeing this winter. I know enough car builders where getting the car caged will not be a problem, and I can do the rest essentially by myself (with a little help from a few friends, of course!). I just have to see where I am towards the end of the year, financially and employment-wise.
