Smurfette.
The RA1's will be hot commodity next year and you are being way to sensible.
Interseries is very interesting. I wonder if I fit..5 lugs are so overrrated.
Racercars <<<<< Street cars. You dont want to drive a dually every day.
Somehow i found mysel looking for '92-'95 Mercedes 500E.. What does that mean?
Lets not get ito the reality of costs running a 30 year old race car. You are messing with Cool aide here..
You shift too fast!.. Oh wait...
My street cars dont depraciate cause I dont beat them up....
Should he double clutch? I learned to drive in a "80 Magirus Deutz that we end up racing at francorchamps...
The greek needs a GT3 to cruise for chicks..
Send them.
No chance
It barely finishes a lap
I'm first f@ck you.
Yeah, prolly wont start..
I have a pile of RA1 to sell.....PM if interested
Im pretty excited, getting bored in the DE arms race......I want to run in somewhat equal cars, tires with some people and have fun
I am not up to speed on the class teh car will fit in, but Zotz Racing helped me on this journy. Ron picked this car to fit in specic classes. you can run Hoosier TD, R6 or slocks depending on class I think. Im going to start on Hoosier TD...while learning the car
Ill still be on here, and post videos on the way to cars and cafe in Giesha. I still love my RS....could have sold it to buy this car but I'm too attached to sell it.
If I kept tracking Giesha, I was going to down a hill of more and more dedicated track......many of teh street car parts on an RS are not meant for the abuse of race car speeds.........and yes the centerlocks started to sit in the back of my mind. New car has 5 lugs
And those who think their half cage (or fiat with no cage) is safer than a purpose built race car are wrong. this car was built from the tub up by *** motorsports to be safe.....much safer than what I have now
Ever looked at the cost of an axle on an RS? or an upright, coolant hose replacement, transmission......I can go on and on. If you think your street car is any cheaper than a 2,000lb race car to drive you are fooling yourself. I couldnt get over 8,000 miles out of a clutch, 4.0 clutch that is.

Ya sorry i missed you at winterfest. i was in and out. Now going to sebring 6 days and you are in texas. Crap. I am breaking in a new cayman interseries so I went the same way you did, kindof. Full cage built car, engineered to be safe and fun. And oh ya, 5 lug baby... 10 minute wheel changes here I come.
about car capabilities. But then again since his beloved Fiat is down for the count $$$$$ he has to spout something. Somehow i found mysel looking for '92-'95 Mercedes 500E.. What does that mean?

964Cup is not an antique, it has a coilover suspension, and with a 3.6 and fresh slicks, it is a capable car, record shows a 2:23 at Sebring by my fellow NNJR-PCA fast shoe Charlie (and nice guy too), and it is consistent with the fastest GTC1 lap records at other tracks (R. America, the Glen, Road Atlanta, AutoClub).
A GTC1 legal car running 2:19s at Sebring, bullcrap.
A modified 964 Cup running 2:19s at Sebring, easy, the sky is the limit with modifications, Aero+motor+lightening, easy target.
I'll pay for dyno and scales, bring a GT3S legal car on a pre-964 chassis to Sebring (SWB or LWB up to 1988) and show me a 2:16, or easier a 2:17 on R6/R1 (not R1S)/V710/C51.
Izzone's antique is a Coffee Cup on RA1 and Gold Cup on slicks.
BTW, my training wheels ages ago were old Fiats, old BMWs and a 1983 3.0 SC.

I share the above mentioned costs. Lets do it.
The Fiat maaayyyybe makes Gold cup. but it probably will blow up in the second session.

If he's on full slicks and doesn't run 1:31 or better, which I suspect he won't, that will be a good laugh. If he's scared of Bishops bend and hitting the brakes, he will also be scared of turn 1,4,5 and 12 at Road Atlanta. There aren't the huge runoff areas like 17 and 1 at Sebring. Add in some elevation with the cement guard rails with lots of overbraking and I see a possible coffee cup time.

Fiat can't do Platinum, not even on slicks, it needs aero at that little track.

My PS3 simulator says the Fiat runs Gold DE Cup at Road Atlanta, high 32s on slicks. On R6 it would do Coffee Cup, where the car belongs, I just try to pedal it into the faster Aero Beetle dominated classes, and sometimes it succeeds...

But yes, scared everywhere. the Fiat will suck everywhere except for the back straight.
Hey, hey hey, I can do 32's on RA1..Fiat is without hope, even at RA.

Just getting to the thread even though I knew all about it. Congrats randy, I knew Zitza had to be behind the vintage route
Rad is delusional, and his coffee cup times at road atlanta is like saying a 2:20 at Sebring is coffee cup times.
When I retire and can run a full season, I will dabble into something like this as well
