X-1

I might beg to defend our car as more an Aprilia RSV to a YZF-R1. Still capable, still fast, just very different. I traded my RSV for half a ride with an R1 and it was impressive, but I was never happier to own the Aprilia (sold only to fund the 965). A chopper makes no attempt to even mimic a performance machine. The Aprilia felt bulky and was much more harsh than the R1, but once you acclimated to it's character it was a very rewarding bike to ride fast.

I'm in total agreement with this Thusly. While I enjoy the charisma of the old school 3.6, I am not comfortable outfitting the 3.6 for track use and having a go of it. I'll admit that I prefer a bit more of a benign tool for track use.

A new GT3 if far faster and more benign handling and fluid for track use. Since cost is a factor, I stayed with a bimmer. The key is trying to find a track car that doesn't have such a propensity to bite you in the ***, has accessible performance, but yet still gets your blood boiling.

Pushing a 3.6 around a track at its limits take some big ***** and skill. It's a hairier car to drive under hard charging than any other car I've owned, including the somewhat twitchy Ferrari.

I work on 360 my 91 turbo is my daily driver .
I blast down 2222 on the way to work every day to remind myself I'm Alive .... but I have come around a corner on 2222 under boost only to find a mini van facing me in my lane ( looped ) scary road ..
