We ran into Charlie at a frozen yogurt shop here a few years ago. Great guy!

That's "Hellephant" to you.

And no way I would put a Ford GT in a 24 Hours of Lemons race. Geez, what a waste of money.

I'm waiting for the 4wd Raptor version with the 6" lift.

Both of those are too expensive for the Lemons rules.

Funny you mention it, a group of friends and I are buying a turn key lemons car.

Not a GT?

 

[4WD]

It's currently based on the older GT

Slightly over budget. It is a CRX which should be fun for track time even though I am building my 95 Mustang for a track car and one of my other friends has a Panoz Esperante GTS for a track car. At least this gives me an excuse to finally go buy the helmet, driving suit, and Simpson Hybrid X that I have been lagging on buying.

Yes, that should fit within budget and be fun!
