It appears neither one of you know anything about the SCCA's Trans-Am road racing series of the 1960's....The only modifications were perhaps the addition of a rollbar and some racing tires...



... and the French Army conquered most of Europe once. :roll:


Sorry but you can't get more bone stock then renting a car from Hertz and bolting in a roll bar to go racing...

Early "Hertz" cars were available with four-speed manual transmissions until so many cars were returned from rental with burned and broken clutch assemblies that all of the later cars shipped to Hertz were equipped with an automatic transmission.[citation needed] Many were rented to use as production class cars at SCCA events, some were returned with different engines, holes where roll bars had been welded in, and other modifications to legally run on the track.

poquas poquas:
And you again prove to me you're an idiot.

I don't have a clue what ad you're talking about, but I guess you desperately need something to hang onto to save face.
Ever heard of Mr. Shelby? It was one of his cars. #23 in 1967 (a MODIFIED Mustang). The link to the SCCA Trans Am race series rules are there as well. Pages and pages of PDF files for every year run. They’re not selling anything.
Look it up moron. I’m beginning to believe the Canadian Tire thing.


The FIA class was separate from the Trans-Am class, although they did all race on the track at the same time. It was a race within a race where you could have MGB win the under 2.0 litre class, a AMC Javelin win the over 2.0 litre class and a GT40 win the grand touring class with the Javelin being the overall winner...

Evolution

Rules evolved over the years, incorporating FIA touring and grand-touring classes as well as SCCA Club Racing classes. The different classes had restrictions placed on the allowed modifications in an effort to equalize competition between the different cars. In 1976, Trans-Am returned to the two category format, classifying FIA Group 4 and 5 cars as "Category II".

Holy crap Stemmer!

Spamming doesn’t help your case. How desperate can you be?

You claim to be the expert. I gave you the details and you go all over the place with it. You refer to an ad that I don’t know anything about. Then you talk about tubular frames which I said nothing about, and to top it off you throw in Hertz AND Wikipedia???????

This topic is toast. Stemmer you’re a phoney and a fool.

So where is your link? You did not provide one to back up your boast... Sheathe your tongue or unsheathe your sword....!!!! Your futile attempts to have another thread locked is pathetic....!!!!!


And for the record I would never claim a MG to be powerful as you have... Comments like that "Power and handling in one machine" just re-enforce your automotive ignorance...


Now provide the link....



For the record allow me to repeat myself...

The FIA class was separate from the Trans-Am class, although they did all race on the track at the same time. It was a race within a race where you could have MGB win the under 2.0 litre class, a AMC Javelin win the over 2.0 litre class and a GT40 win the grand touring class with the Javelin being the overall winner...
