Serious About Competition?
http://www.factoryfive.com/chalhome.html
The Challenge model is designed for the hard-core racing junkie. The car is designed single-mindedly for racing dominance. With the Challenge car chassis kit, you’ll be able to run with the big dogs… and do it the right way, with ultimate safety and performance. The Challenge model is the professional competition racing version of our 65 Mk3 roadster.
If you are a person who plans to use your car for more than an occasional open-track day, then this chassis kit was designed for you. Built from the foundation of the proven mk3 chassis, the modified challenge car chassis meets SCCA GT1 design criteria and has been seriously upgraded in all areas to address the specific needs of the competition driver.
Challenge cars have been dominant in racing classes across the country for more than 7 years. Ford Racing selected a Challenge car to serve as one of the 2006 Champ Car “Fast Laps” car. Challenge cars have earned top spots in local and national level SCCA and NASA roadracing series.
Factory Five Racing sponsors the NASA-FFR Challenge, where spec-built challenge cars race each year towards regional and national titles.

Spec Legal & What's 98%?

Has this chassis been built spec legal, using only the allowed parts and equipment setups? And when you say 98% done, what exactly is left to be done?

Stu,

I'm a little confused. Am I seeing 2 different cars on the flicker site? There are photos of a IRS & a 3 link and a CNC Master cylinder & a Mustang MC.

Is it power or manual steering? I might have missed it but I didn't see a photo showing the steering.

Is it set up to be street legal (head lights & blinkers)?

Confusion...



Hi Doug,

Sorry for the confusion.
I have a few pics of other cars used during our build on Flickr.

Our car has a CNC master cylinder and manual steering.

The body is not on the car but we have lights, blinkers, etc. (everything that comes with a Challenge car kit)

If you need some different pics just let me know!

I CANNOT BELIEVE this car is still not sold!! Probably because some of you new people don't know Stu. Have a look a the pictures....closely. His attention to detail is outstanding; among the best builders I have known. If any of youse (a word?) is seriously looking for a spec car THIS is the one. If you want one from MASS buy mine and I will buy Stu's!

can't believe that you have not sold this. If I had the money and you were a bit closer to FL I would be all over it. If you still have it in a few months and you have not decided to keep it I will take it off your hands. Bump for a great deal...
