s Pete (85gold) let me flog the boss a bit. Shifting is a PITA in it. I think once the clutch gets hot it doesn't release or something but after about a lap it stops letting you into 5th gear... then 4th... then 3rd. You can get it in gear but it's a 2 second shift waiting for it to let you in. Ran a 2:29.1 on the data, I had kinda hoped the big ole girl would be quicker. 133.9mph down the back straight on data. Always had a passenger so maybe it's in the 28's with no passenger. Turn in is only a suggestion on the street tires, you can't dream of trail braking it in, it just over loads the outside front tire and washes you wide of the apex.
Anyway here is the video with Pete riding shotgun. I think I was running 2:30 flats this session. Sorry the sound sucks, didn't hook up the mic.

Actually DeputyDog got stuck in the middle of the pack going through 17. That was hilarious....

My stock suspension, slow motor, 987.1 moving chicane hits 134mph on the back straight at Sebring. It now has 120 lbs removed, a tune, suspension updates and a superb exhaust system, very likely 137mph in its current configuration, and way cheaper than the Pony car.

Wow it barely qualifies for the "Cup of Coffee" and borderline with the "Moving Chicane" trophy. I think the E36M3 is a better choice, especially when adding low speed turns.

if anyone is a baller it is Izzone definition 2.... n
2. A person who finds success and wealth. The source of income is usually unknown by others, but can tell wealth by the "baller's" attire and usually cocky attitude.
Did you see that baller who just sped by in that 'vette?
yep that's randy

Psst since you like Challenges how about your Coxster against da Boss 1/4 mile.

You can pick up my Cayman today as is, for way less than your Live-Axle-Wannabe-Sport-Car. I even give you over $15k on goodies the car has installed since December 2011. It has an extended warranty, a 18,000 miles old engine, 6 track days, and you don't have to deal with Ford service.

Both items were tucked safely away. Only thing that made a debut was the hair gel Saturday night....
I was enjoying the video until I saw the miata pack. Those guys drove me nuts. Ones on the left pointing me by, while guy on right is pointing me by, while 2 up front are blocking me in the middle.
Actually DeputyDog got stuck in the middle of the pack going through 17. That was hilarious....
