swings and round abouts on the costs.
eg: a zetec engine doesn't need a rebuild as often, however a front wish bone costs 3 times as much as a non zetec chassis. They (for me anyway) are 2 seperate entites, and I am not a fan of the conversions eg: kent cars ended in the mid ninties (so I understand) then zetec became the national formula ford....and cars started being developed for zetec championships, thats where the kent cars should end (on the entry list) when zetec took over as the main championship should be where the kent chassis "class" ends.
If you have a zetec chassis why convert it to kent ??? surly it is easier (and less expensive) to go and race it in a zetec championship ? and there cannot be much pleasure in beating kent chassis knowing you have far better machinery ? I know if I entered a championship and won it (dreams do happen) I would feel a lot better winning it in a kent against kents, than a zetec against kents. I do enjoy this topic there are so many points of view.
