How about a GT4 with a GT3 motor? It will never happen, but would that be a hot seller?
Still the Cayman won't feel as fun as the GT3 and always be mid engine darty without the mega brakes and wide, slow rotational trail braking.

But the 99k V8 sport edition does!!

Yes, but throw in a yestertech V8 manual for 99K and it would sure be interesting... Like driving an Aston with the same fun and price as a Z06 without the suicide speeds......
And it looks good enough to lick.

If you don't like it in the Z06, turn it off.

Voila.

I just don't want to deal with frayed, and his groupies.

Isolation by the internet. Reminds me to drunk post less often.

I'd like to straighten out any misunderstandings. I'm not looking to argue.

It's my reputation, and I was unjustly called out. Would you let that go?

You're really worried about a reputation on an internet forum?

Personally I wouldn't leave the forum as there is a lot of good info (and obviously you aren't leaving either as you keep posting), but I would let the petty stuff go and stop feeding it. Whether you drive an F1 car or participate in a DE who cares? It's only Rennlist

Didn't you say you already have a Cup car?

This is one of numerous posts that clashed but I am not here to prove you wrong, I am responding to you, since you eluded that your reputation is being tarnished. Out of respect to other RL members, I will not be going back and forth on this with you.

LOL. "Trackfan" outed and concerned about his rep. Great stuff. Too bad it had to pollute RL.

Edit: flattered by the groupie comment. That was awesome. And no, I'd pass on a racing someone as brittle boned as you trackfan. It just wouldn't be right.

I never said I had a Cup car. I said I was interested, and I am. I'm also interested in the new RS, and that why i've had to accept the PDK. If you look at all my posts you'll see I did test drive a regular PDK in a 2S, and didn't like it. I was told to wait until I try the PDK-S before judging it. So, I am.

I also said I was getting an F2 car to race in vintage races. That's a done deal, and i'll be picking up the car next month. There isn't enough vintage races to keep me busy, so that's why i'm looking for something else to fill in. I left the forum once, because I was going to go with a C7. Racing Vettes is mostly what i've done. After looking at the C7 I decided I didn't like it, and was going to come back to look at the GT3 again. They started to catch fire, and that ended that idea for awhile. Then the RS was announced, and I thought i'd wait for that. That's where I am now.

There's nothing inconsistent in any of my posts. I don't bull****, and i'm not a wannabe troll. I like this forum, and had no intention of ever leaving it. However, I never expected someone like frayed to be on this forum. I've been around too long to put up with childish kids with big mouths.

I hope that explains things. I'm still going to go, but didn't want to do it like it was.

Whatever. The challenge is always open. Brittle bones and all.

I thought this thread might have some legs but it might as well get shut down now.

Woah, I just realized I've been equating trackfan with trakcar... Was Wondering why he seemed so bipolar... sometimes the posts seemed to make sense, other times not all but were entertaining. I hope both sides of his personality stick around.
