Anyone ever watch Strangers With Candy? Chuck Noblet (Stephen Colbert) : "Just shut your filthy little mouth!"

Lol...

Warren- How about for once I am not the guinea pig? Admitted- I have thought (fantasized) of buying some Spyders that have come back on market and fitting them properly and, uh, ummm, oh crap nevermind.

While I do have a talent for the entrepreneurial thing, as they say, "knowledge is knowing how to do something, wisdom is knowing not to"!

PSDS is perfectly positioned from a number of aspects to make this happen.

No your move. Please post pics and driving impressions! And congrats! What are you going to do with it? DE or race or both?

Ya bastid...

Mooty I am sure will welcome you to the 996 club...haha

My dealer has recently invited me to park a trailer/car on their lot if I want to so as to facilitate winter tracking...just like crack dealers, the lot of you

DE/Track days, some coaching, and hopefully a little GTC3 racing somewhere down the road if I make it that far. The typical slippery slope.

The first 2 day course at Barber was great, and I am looking forward to the second part. But, after several DEs in my GT3, am I correct in wondering if driving the C-2s and C-2Ss will make me just wish they had GT3s to drive? As to the question, I would love a chance to drive a CUP car at Barber, and would pay more than the 3K needed for part two of the 2 day Performance school. Maybe 4K for 2 days if you got enough track time and not just follow the leader?

I have been seriously considering the same given the poorly designed newly refreshed pressure plate on the RS.2 not to mention the Full Cage....I would be real interested in your feedback after sometime in it...

no, but did the gt3 course with them at qr. very well run, with thomas mezera and warren luff instructing. the cup car course looks inviting but it's mega $$$$
worth doing once for sure.

Maybe they could just let us write a check for this, sans all the pesky exercise bits of course:

Seems like it would be a better deal to rent a cup for a DE or test day and procure some 1-on-1 coaching from a pro driver.
