Putting out a feeler for my HPDE/TT setup. I'm considering going all-in on racing with SCCA and/or NASA starting next year, either in SM or SRF3. I have an SCCA comp license and have rented SRF3s for a few races so far. I haven't actually decided to sell but wanted to see if there was any interest here. I'd want my car to go to an enthusiast looking for a well-sorted track car setup. I'm located in the Bay Area, CA.

I haven't decided what I'd list the car for yet. Should I even sell or is this a terrible idea given how awesome my setup is? What says the community?

nice lil setup you have there i have the same seat/harness setup! but i used the brey krause brackets/recaro sliders



what racecar do you think you would get? and id say 70k or so would be fair with the mods/trailer right?

[R3ctivision]

I haven't decided what I'd race, but either SRF3 or SM probably. I prefer SRF3 but SM gives more club racing opportunities.

Price-wise, I'd probably ask more than $70k for the whole shebang. I see several ZLEs listing for $70k just for the car itself. I have about $8k invested in the wheels, $4k in the trailer setup, $4k in the cage+custom seat bracket work, plus the mods, spares, and things like full PPF. I wouldn't be looking to recoup all of my investment obviously, but I would think all of that is a significant value adder to someone looking for a streetable HPDE/TT setup.

I might also keep the car for another couple of seasons. There is no actual rush here.

[kropscamaro16]

well hard to figure out without a price but worse part about big heavy cars is brakes/tires lol

[R3ctivision]

Sure, the consumables are high on the ZLE, that is pretty well known. I keep a very detailed cost log for my HPDE and racing events. Surprisingly the Camaro is actually cheaper to run than SRF3 despite its tires being >2X the cost and >2X the fuel consumption. My main cost drivers in racing are A&D support and higher registration fees vs. HPDE. Still gotta buy a set of tires every race weekend too. If I DIYed an SRF3 it would probably be a lot cheaper, but then you need a truck and a larger trailer. I can stand up my tire trailer against the wall in my standard 20x20 two-car garage and still park my Camaro and Miata in there.

Great setup

Will you sell me a set of wheels?

[mlzmfln]

This is a steal considering Bay Area prices and goodies included. GLWS!

[Dabjbr]

I think you'd get more by parting out the wheels and trailer while leaving the stock wheels with the car.

BTW, nice pic! I assume Thunderhill east to west transition?

[R3ctivision]

Update: decided to keep the car. Probably won't ever sell it unless it's for a C8 Z06 or 911 GT3 at this point, hehe. I might sell one set of wheels once I settle down on my favorite tire setup. Right now I have the ability to experiment with both 18" and 19" fitments.

Dabjbr: pic is T15 at thunderhill east, coming onto front straight.
