To me it just makes sense to buy a Chall to race , do some mods to it & enjoy it . My friend  just got his LC22 Chall & Wow you better have deep pockets , the car comes with nothing for nearly the price of a drivable R/t , I think I would buy the R/T & strip it out , there is no brakes, the calipers & hubs are on the front & a master is in place but nothing connecting it  , diff or wiring in the car , the computer pkg to run the engine is $5100 , + you have to drive to Roush & get it , there is no delivery arrangements , there is a lot of work & $ to be spent after you get the car , it doesn`t even have the trunk lid shocks to hold it open , no fuel system

I agree, 39k is just a start, more like 60k when it can finally be called a turn-key factory racer. It would be cheaper to buy a wrecked R/T and flail away.  :working:
