Hey bunky, meet me any time for a few hot laps at Summit Point or VIR, etc. I've got $ 1,000 cash money says you can go first and I'll pass you in three laps or less. None of that candy-*** stoplight drag racing nonsense. Or if that's too much for you Launch Control guys, the Autorcross of your choice - FTD takes home the bacon.

Bring your $$$.

I would love to embarrass you on your own track. Just bring your friends to witness. Keep the 1k. No head start. We start the race from a stand still using launch control.

Game is on! Personally, I will accept the same terms, if you compete in the same class as my track Boxster.

Did you happen to win an NBA championship in Miami in 2013?

LOL. you called me bunky?

I never track my car or drive it in the rain.

Just kidding I love to track my car. Love to drive in the rain and snow, I love to drive my car, period. It’s not an investment and it’s not my pride and joy.

I would love love to come drive at a track with you. Maybe someday it will happen.

Let me make it clear, I don’t need to be faster than you to have fun driving it at the race track. I also don’t need another $1k or care if I lose a $1k.

I guess if you want to be one of the cool kids you have to track your car and boast about being the fastest. There is always someone faster and richer. Get off your soap box and enjoy you car.

I've tried it both ways a few times and sometimes with trac on it seemed faster, other times is seemed slower.
Should probably do a few back to back on the same section of road with similar tire temp to check further
With trac off and tires not to temp it's certainly more entertaining.
