Freight rates and fees are estimated to be $2,400 to $3,500 by sea and
land, depending on the delivery zip code. Freight time is estimated at 5
to 6 weeks. Pick-ups at Enterprises can be arranged but sales tax may be a
consideration.
To maintain the lowest cost possible, there is no money built into the
car price for the absorption of credit card fees. A credit card number
will be accepted as down payment at the signing of the purchase contract
in order to hold a delivery spot. A replacement check must arrive at
Enterprises within ten working days for the delivery spot to be
maintained.
Production rate is six plus cars per month. Some assembly will be
required, as the engine will not be mounted to the chassis and the corners
will require reinstallation after shipment. Engine plumbing and
electronics will need to be installed. This chassis comes partially
assembled but we recommend full disassembly and final assembly and
inspection be performed before driving.
Driver skill and cost containment is the focal point. An entry-level car
with minimal adjustments, sealed engines, set horsepower, and equal
traction along with a truly high-tech presentation. Controlled through
standardized components, drive train, adjustments and tires. The car is
designed for the up-and-coming new driver as well as the current member
looking for low budget competition. The level playing field of controlled
competition allows the driver to showcase his or her true ability in a
“drivers class” while maintaining costs. Implementation of this
program has the potential of being even more successful for the SCCA
racing members then the highly successful Spec Racer Ford program. The
Sports Car Club of America and SCCA Enterprises plan to continue full
support of the Spec Racer class and automobiles indefinitely.
Enterprises and Van Diemen are very pleased to have joined forces. With
chassis production by Van Diemen and engine, distribution, compliance and
stewardship by Enterprises, this is a winning combination. This is a
20-year partnership between Van Diemen and Enterprises. The Mazda
2.3-Liter is one of the newest engines available with a production life of
14 plus years. The car is state-of-the-art with solid cost controls. The
car will run and be supported by SCCA and Enterprises for many years to
come.
The Competition Board has placed the formula car in Formula Atlantic and
the Sports Racer in C Sports Racer. Both cars must follow GCR requirements
before the Competition Board will consider assigning either car it’s own
class. Expectations are that the formula car will have its own class
within two years with the sports racer taking longer.
Body panels come in eight colors: white; dark blue; bright blue; dark
red; bright red; yellow; green; and black. Color may be specified at the
time of chassis order. Color is the gel coat, not paint.
The difference in cost between the two cars is directly related to the
bodies. The formula body is less expensive then the sports racer body. It
is estimated that approximately three hours will be required to switch
bodies on the cars. If the purchaser expects to participate in both the
Formula and Sports Racer classes then it is suggested that the sports
racer version be purchased with a spare formula body for overall cost
savings.
