I've built a new car, a 2006 Solstice. I have prepaired it for road racing in the SCCA SSB class. I purchased this car as a total with 4100 miles on it. Updated all the chassis to the ZOK specs and added a roll cage.
SSB (Show Room Stock B) rules are very tight. You need to run stock everything except:
Tires
Safety Equipment
Cat back exhaust
Brake Pads
The cars aren't that fast, but are a lot of fun and easy on parts. I have a ton of laps in these cars and use them for driver training. If any one want to build one GM have a new book that outlines how to build one. I'll try to find a link.
That's very cool Mark. I need a ride.............. I'd think this is a perfect series for you, as it's "relatively" easy on the pocketbook and lets a good driver shine.
My friend and I spent 3 hours (They were very patient! ) chatting up the Soltice Z0K designers from GM Racing this past Saturday at PRI. It was an awesome time, and they were great to humor us! Those cars may not be "fast" but they sure are capable. They are killing the racing field, and GM's support of the racing community is unparalleled at this point. They are awesome to work with.

Which is why it always kills me when someone starts talking about racing in this class and all they can think about is a Miata. Gimmie a fuggin' break already. The Solstice is a hydroframed warrior that is 10 times the car that the Miata is. I've driven both cars and to me the Miata feels like a go-cart made out of sheet metal and PVC pipe compared to the Solstice.
