1998 ST-2 Car for sale
So, with this year sucking nearly as much as the last I've decided that work and life are taking the front seat and racing is not this car. I'd rather not see it sit like it did this year. So I figure I'll list it up for sale, and see if there is any interest. Wallyman and others can tell you she is/was a strong car and the only think lacking was someone that could really drive her 
Brief into:
Built as a T1 car in 2005, from a CLEAN 1998 C5 doner car. Raced in SCCA for a few years in the south east, and did well (although the guy was a serious cheater). In 2007 the ls1 blew, and a crate motor ls6 was installed, As was a fresh T56 and rebuilt rear end. I bought the car in February 2008, and raced it in nasa ST-2. The car is one of the fastest cars in the region and I was always did well, losing only To wally. Over the winter (08-09) i installed, pfadt solid motor mounts, American racing headers and pfadt poly bushings. A new windshield was installed as well as a new tune for the car.
Engine:
New Ls6 short block 2012
new head gaskets, head bolts, head decked .005, 2012
ARP Head studs
New LS-2 timing chain
American racing headers, Racing series 1-7/8's primary's into a 3" collector
3" stainless exhaust, X pipe into American Racing turn downs. This was a custom system produced by AR for World Challenge Race cars
Pfadt Soild motor mounts
new plugs 2012
St-2 tune "detuned" to 383 whp, the car will make well over 400hp tuned
Spec Stage 1 clutch and flywheel
Hurst Short Shifter
LG Delrin Shift **** (with 2" riser)
Setrab Oil cooler
Big Radiator (not sure what brand)
Catch can
Suspension/brakes/wheels:
Penske triple adjustable 8100 series shocks. Rebuilt 02/09, and turned into coilovers with locking collars and bearings. All World Challenege Parts used, 600/700 spring rates
Pfadt Poly bushings for the entire suspension 02/09
Pfadt camber kit 02/08
Bear Bump steer kit (new)
T1 Bars, as well as z51 bars new endlinks as of 09/09
Stoptech 4 pot BBK (new) DTC70 pads
DRM brake ducts
Front 18x10.5's with 315's 2 Heat cycle r6's
Rear 18x12's with 335's 2 Heat cycle r6's
(I have 3 sets of wheels and many MANY tires)
Body/Other:
Weight 3180, shes a biggin, There is 180lbs bolted to the passenger side floor in 12/15 lb increments so you can mix/match weight based on fuel, etc.
1998 Coupe body
6 point SCCA approved cage with triple nascar bars.
Fulcrum Aeroworks Wing
ACP World Challenge Front bumper, and splitter
new windshield (02/09)
Turn One PS pump 6/08
Turn one rebuilt Rack 2012
Z51 power steering cooler
Mocal transmission cooler.
(many extra body parts here as well)
I'm sure I'm missing something but you can call 703-909-1220 for more info, as for price, in this economy I'd sell everything, all the spares, for 18K. I moved to san diego and it looks like racing will not be in the cards anytime soon
here are a few pictures.

Again 18K obo, and would easily include trailer 20' enclosed trailer at $2,000 more. Also, I will provide transportation for a reasonable distance if needed.

Thanks a ton. Honestly I've had the car for so long and I just need to let it go, which is the reason its priced like so. Its also not a looker... AT ALL. She has had a ton of track miles and races put on her and honestly, it shows. But she is one of the best built cars I know of, I just want someone to enjoy her.

Sorry to see that you are no longer going to be racing Ross. I can understand the different priorities. I have seen this car run many times at VIR and it is strong and reliable. The asking price is way more than reasonable and someone will get a good deal.

Yup, its cheap... but thats because I want to move on (and she is ugly). Unfortunately I just dont have my heart in her any more and I expect it to sell at this price with all the spares. Someone is going to get one HELL of a deal, and I expect them to track the bejesus out of her again!

I modified the first post after receiving a few questions. The trailer would be included at an additional cost ($2,000) which includes ratchet straps, locks, load balancing hitch. The trailer just had new tires put on last year, and probably have a thousand miles on them. Essentially EVERYTHING you'd need to tow it across the country.
The trailer is a 20' Haulmark bought in 2008, with dual 3500lbs axles. There is enough room in the trailer for the car, my HUGE rolling tool box, 2 additional sets of wheels, ez-up and space for a sleeping bag. I've camped in the trailer a few times and when its not below freezing its actually nice.
If anyone wants more information about the trailer, car, or me just ask! I've been on this forum for a LONG time, and just about everything I've done to the car since owning it has been documented here. I've raced and know about 50% of the guys in the racing forum and all of which will say I'm.... well.... stupid for selling the car.
