The kind that adds performance mods and tracks the car often. The kind that has a built in lap timer.

U,
Better climb into your nomex. I suggested a year or so ago that there was no difference between most P car owners (yea Otter that includes 993 owners) and the kids that fix up imports. I was half serious and half joking but boy did I catch hell. Good luck.

Me I drive the car hard when I can get out to the track. At the same time I do some beauty modifications like wheels. I won't sacrifice my everyday use to go to the track, but try to get in DEs and AutoX when I can.

I try and remember to always use the clutch when shifting, but cancelling the turn signals has been neglected on several occasions. Does the onboard computer track this?
