I sold this, kept the engine and tranny...

 

[KGTO]

I bought this....minus the blower parts......

 

[KGTO]

I have the chance to buy this as a roller....

The altered needs to be finished, the chassis is certified 5.99 & quicker. I have never run a altered before. The T/A is very light and I have my blown alky Pontiac engine and 'glide that would go in either car. Money is tight and the T/A would cost me more than the altered (initially) and I would have to sell the altered. In the end, I like door cars, but wanted to try running an altered as I heard its unlikely you'll ever go back to a door car after running one. The altered should run in the high 6's when done and after I get used to driving it. The T/A I think would be capable of mid to low 7's with my current combo.

Just looking for some opinions.....

I prefer door cars mayself, but I would think the altered would feel faster even running the same speed.

 

[KGTO]

I guess I feel a little odd working around the altered than a door car. I guess its just another learning curve.

 

[BossStang]

I'de go with the Firebird

 

[Lil Jack]

I'm a sucker for the 69 TA, one of my all-time favorites!

how many races can you run the alterd in we ran one for years an had a hard time getting races unless we went openoutlaw an steped up to low 6.00 -6.20 i think there is more races for a door car. but i love the fiat

That's a good point. I can do open wheel Top Gun at Boise, its basically a Q8/Q16. Nostalgia in Mission BC and Bakersfield, Spokane I would have to look into. Otherwise I would be stuck in some sort of brackets. The T/A I would run in NPSA Outlaw 10.5 and or PSCA

..and you don't see many 69 T/A's...both cars are pretty bitchen.

Probably more opportunity for races with the Firerbird, but I love the altered

 

[KGTO]

So here are some of the other points to ponder...all the tin work on the altered (chassis and body) has to be done. The body needs to be hinged, all the wiring needs done, a new fuel tank built, hand brake needs to be installed, front brakes, etc...

T/A has a Moser 12 bolt with a 4-link, the rear wont handle the power, so that needs to be yarded and I need to notch the firewall for the blower and I already have a fuel tank (front mounted) that I need to install. I think I can be up and running quicker in the T/A.

 

[gottuna]

get the door car. that is one badass looking firebird.

 

[mikeyfrombc]

TA all the way

 

[Drag Radial]

T/A no doubt about it.

 

[JHaleyH374]

The Firebird!!!

 

[555nova]

Have toy ever run the GTO in montana? I havent seen it before. BTW I love the T/A.

 

[BossStang]

Good deal on the Firebird too.
