What’s a Diasio D962? A purpose-built track machine.
Currently powered by a 1000cc Yamaha engine, per the seller, the D962 also comes with “another motor and tons of spare parts.”
Located in Houston, Texas, $30,000 gets you the car and a trailer to haul it to the track.
Find this Diasio D962 for sale over on Facebook Marketplace.
I remember when these came out; they ran in SCCA D-sports racer.
They were/are a bit heavy for that class; purpose built D-sports racers were 300-400lbs lighter.
The one advantage they did have was you could equip them with a passenger seat and take friends along for rides at certain track days.
They also look really cool.

Thanks for the insight. I'd never heard of it, but I definitely thought it was worth sharing.

Yep, cool car that landed with some chatter. I’m thinking we had at least one at a UTCC but don’t quote me.
Didn’t realize that debut was so long ago, too....
It seems to me that with a few mods (like headlights) this could also get road registered as a 962 replica, especially considering the existence of the homologation cars.

They are less than full scale to an original 962, I forget how much but around 80-90% maybe.
Yeah, they’re smol.
That's $10K worth of trailer. Log book, spare crate motor, other spares...
$30K doesn't seem that bad

I am aware of that mattering under the 'new' federal low-volume production manufacturer laws. However, I am not aware of any states having such requirements regarding replicas under their typical 'kit car' laws.

I was running a DSR from 97 to 03 and so I was involved in the community from about 96 to 2005.
A few of them ran at the RunnOffs but given they are a bigger car they weren't front runners............back then the weight limit for DSR was 900lbs with driver.
How’s parts availability today?
