I believe you had to be a sanctioned race car driver to be able to purchase one

Yes orders taken were supposed to be sold to someone who was going to race it. We all know how that turned out.

No way. How crazy. Never knew that. Was this all r's or just specific to this year for some reason.

Of course, many dealers simply added rather large "special" mark-ups over full sticker on the Rs and sold them to anyone who'd pay those inflated prices. A primary reason you see the outrageously priced wrapper models for sale with the seller now trying to make even more of a profit than when they bought the car.

I wouldn't mine driving one of these anyone here have? It's 300hp so it shouldn't feel much different than my 96 mystic or 98 laser red cobra right?

Agreed. Only a slight bit faster than the 96-98 Cobras in a straight line but real nice in the corners.
