Ban II Model
Engine choices for Ban II start with a 461-inch, 430-horse traditional Pontiac V8, while optional powerplants include a 500-horse LS2 based fuel-injected engine, a 550-horse Pontiac V8 or a 600-horse supercharged LS2. A 5-speed manual overdrive with short throw shifter is the standard transmission, and a 4-speed automatic overdrive is optional. The suspension system is completely redesigned on Ban II-level cars, and features a tubular front subframe, rack-and-pinion steering, four-link rear suspension, with adjustable coil-over shocks all the way around. The chassis is reinforced with integrated subframe connectors and is mini-tubbed in the rear for additional wheel and tire clearance.

A 5-speed manual is the only transmission offered on the Ban III. Suspension consists of the Ban II’s tubular front subframe, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-link rear with adjustable coil-overs on each corner. Chassis reinforcements include integrated subframe connectors and a four-point roll bar with safety harnesses. Brakes are huge Baer Racing 6-piston calipers with 14-inch two-piece rotors front and rear.
