I ASSume we will have to run Toyos?
Glenn, I still run stock C5 brakes on my C5. I have plenty of spare rotors, calipers and pads.
I think I can cobble a set of 17's with the right offsets from my stash as well. I just don't have any 17" tires that small. :roll:

I sent you a PM but:

Money talks, bubba.
Kevin, mail sent
Are they going to allow the current CMC 4th gens to upgrade the brakes or are you going to swap in an LS1? Can the 4th gen get to 3200lbs?Quote:

yes, i can install 13" brakes and pull the restrictor plate and be 100% legal.Quote:

3200??? lets just say my car was 3227 post race w/ driver after the sunday 40 minute race.
if i build a CMC-S car, it will have the LS1 motor, no question. but i hear rumor the LS1 cars will have to come in @ 3300 minimum.
guys, the one thing you need to remember is CMC-S will w/in a few years be part of CMC. they are creating this class to give them a place to race till they figure out how to get them down to CMC lap times. there is no way they will get an LS1 down to 230hp/300tq. and if they did and let them run @ 3200 it would still be a class ringer. the LS1 motor is 100+ lbs lighter than the LT1. this is huge for getting your front / rear %'s better.
so my point is dont build a car for this or change your car for this new class to think your getting away from CMC. it will all be one class sooner or later. my my guess id the CMC cars will slowly be bumped to 250/320 over a few years (10hp/tq per year). this would really only require a cam change and a small cam @ that. just speculation on my part though.
can a 4th gen get to 3200lbs????? they can @ LAW Motorsports!
there was no other 4th gen @ Nationals w/in 50 lbs of my car. most were in the 3350-3400 range @ the start of the 40 minute race. i was under 3300 easily w/ a completely full tank. there is about 30 more lbs i could remove if i wanted plus running the fuel load lower.
I think CMC-S is the future.
I think CMC currently will remain unchanged, forever.
When -S car numbers eclipse CMC #'s, CMC will become formally know as CMC-V.

Jeff, only time will tell.
For CMC, there are just too many years worth of cars that fit into that category. 82-97 F-cars and 79-04 Mustang/Capri is a huge window of eleigible cars.
CMC-S, on the other hand, is 93-02 F-Cars and a few other 3rd gens that came with 350s I would imagine and some mixture of Mustangs that only Edsel himself can keep up with.
Having such a limited model base and the fact that these cars are still quite pricey will keep the car count from over-taking CMC for a while.
I know a guy in OKC who just bought an '00 6sp. with a new motor and clean title for 6K.
I wonder if it being pewter had anything to do with the price?
