What kind of FP car do you put $15K into and find that it is 
uncompetitive???
Bill Schmidt KC region

Just about any of them.  Just think, the really cool shocks are only 
$3,000 and UP.  Now buy wheels (Diamond steel are your cheapest route at 
$80) and tires (Hoosier R33 or R44 in 16x10 are $250 ea.), you're a third 
of the way there and you haven't touched the motor, differential, sway 
bars, springs, or the hundreds of hardware items and trips to the 
alignment shop (our sponsor, thank you Brake Check).

Of course, uncompetitive is a subjective term.  ;^)
