    What rules will you be running, might make a difference.

        I can't help on which car but give both of them a call and see how you like the customer service, that means a great deal in the future ownership of a car if you have problems. Best of luck in your decision.

          Shaw, call Kevin and he will be more than happy to help you. Great group of guys down there.
          Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

            Go with a Shaw. Great support, smart people, fast race car. Buying one of their cars is the best decision I've made in racing.

              I would talk to both. BMS has a lot of good cars out there too, especially with the 604.

                Shaw has really good support. Brandon I've heard doesn't return calls as well. I know whenever we order parts for shaw cars or anything for that matter they're right there always for us. Some upgrades I would want though for the chassis like brackets on front and rear suspension mounting points. So shaw for tech support and getting parts fast.
                When it seems all eyes are on you when you're wearing a new pair of jeans you wonder why everyone thinks you look so darn good in them. When taking them off you notice the sticker still on the pant leg.

                  We are less than 50 miles from BMS and i watch Brandon race weekly. the Cars are fast but getting support and parts is not fast.

                  We have had a TON of guys in our area switch to JET mods from Johnny Sathoff(spelling) which is also less than 50 miles from us. and man those cars are fast, especially with 604s.

                        you ever look at a shaw cage behind the driver or over his left shoulder? I would turn down a free pair of those, as I value my life and like to be inside the cage.

                          I too would go for a BMS. They are built great and I have had great luck with them.
                          My sarcasm is a pre-emptive strike to your stupidity!!

                            I would agree with stock. They are a "Re clip" waiting to happen. Safety should always be number one.
