    Anders Have a FR500C and a Laguna Seca both extraordinary? cars. 500Cs show up on the internet occasionallyas well as the newer 302S and R. We had 2 Miller Mustangs last week and they were a blast!

    Thanks for all the replies. This is truly a great Forum!

    I definately will buy a track Mustang, so now just waiting for the right car to be available. The Boss 302S seems to be the best choice both in terms of performance and cost. I would however prefer not to have to tell my wife I spent 85K + shipping + 37% in import VAT for a car that can not be used for transportation so a nice FR500S would be the ideal candidate for me.

    If you know or hear about a nice FR500S for sale I would appreciate to hear about it

    Thank you &
    Anders

    If you can stand the price......the FR500C is the car to have...........monster motor, and seam welded body make for a better race car.....

    Gino, I apologize for giving out your secrets. I really thought you would not make it home alive with Linda and no makeup/clothes in the GT.

    Frank,

    I forgive you........You can imagine Linda with a carryon at her feet.........all the way home........Now for the big challenge, getting my Mustang back, as my friend Mike hurt his arm on thursday, and we had to fly him home for an emergency operation.....(he ripped something above his muscle) he is doing fine, but the stacker is at Miller parked.........hmmmmmmmm road trip?

    P.S. After 31 hours straight home from Nebraska, she said I sounded like a recording.."almost home....almost there.....a few more hours"

    Gino, Linda is more than just a trooper, Sue would have killed me at the first stop for fuel and we would have detoured around every airport. On one of our trips pilling a trailer I used, "we're almost there honey, just a little bit further", after 9 hrs. she was livid. I don't make pee stops so she wouldn't drink even a coke. There's a purchase for Linda somewhere in this story. Paybacks are HELL.

    I had the stacker parked next to you. If you need a driver to get it home I can fly from here and get it to you in NYC. Say the word & I am on my way.

    Well, it has been an interesting week. The Mustang track experience at MMP was so great that I just had to have a Mustang race car. Thank you so much Gino for throwing even more fuel on the fire ....

    Initially I wanted a FR500S ...... one bad ass looking track machine, but couldnīt really find one I liked. Then someone ... thanks Tim .... suggested the FR500C and even though I knew it would be way more than I would ever be able to master, ..... well you know how it goes .....

    So, now I just made a deal on a very very nice FR500C Grand Am Mustang ...... oh boy, this Rally has been the most expensive so far

    Will post more info and pictures when the last part of the deal has been finalized.
