    Default FC Wanted - Connecticut area

    I am looking for a FC to run some track days and autocrosses with. Looking for a turn-key (or almost turn key) car in the North East.
    Budget is in the 10-15K range. I have a trailer and $$$$.

    Thank You
    Sean

    sorry but $10-15k for an FC that runs and won't kill you on track is delusional;
    I'll get flamed for being non-constructive, but you'll thank me later

    He’s not going to find a Runoffs winning car, but he should be able to find a RF96 or older Van Diemen or Reynard no problem.
    Van Diemen RF99 FC

    If I was you I'd probably buy FCNC29's immaculate RF95 that's for sale in Massachusetts. Not too far to drive, only a couple hours. Would make a great club racer if you ever feel like stepping out of your comfort zone and getting into some wheel to wheel too. That car deserves to be raced. It even comes with a nice spares package for when you inevitably do some landscaping.

    Thanks Spengo- I called FCNC but the car was sold (nice guy BTW) That ad was what got me looking for a FC. I was hoping that as the season winds down here in the northeast, that someone would have something similar available.

    There is a nice looking 85 Reynard for $15k, but it is in Washington State. Seems silly to spend $1500 (?) to ship a $15k car
