Are you going to be satisfied driving the Spec Boxster after feeling the raw HP of the Turbo?

I might be able to find you a 2011 RS allocation or maybe a used GT2 if you need a track car with more ponies.
I'm at an event now at NHMS with the Spec Boxster. I'm loving it! It's a great raw driving experience and I pass a ton of people in it!

We going to see you at LRP June 3 or maybe Monticello again early August with CVR?
Agreed, I would trail brake significantly scrubbing off just enough speed to go into the esses.

You WILL see me at LRP on 6/3. I'm going to NHMS that Monday and Tuesday and then LRP Wed and Thursday! You'll see the Spec Box for the first time then. It's really cool!
