What professional drivers? What series? What were you driving and what were they driving? Sorry, Playstation doesn't count, nor does Gran Turismo or Xbox.

Did I read correctly that Mommy and Daddy bought your car for you?

Lastly, can I drove your car?

LMAO....this is great.

Yeah, Deep UV, I looked him up, and saw he had only (by his own admission) driven a stick shift once, briefly, before his 996. 'Nuff said.

Enrique, don't be so brittle.

Have you ever been to TWS?

Not sure what the link in your post was supposed to prove or do to sway our opinions on this guy and some brash statements he's making? The fact the Turbo is his first stick tells us there isn't much track experience. A seemingly spoiled kid getting a new Turbo 911 on his 21st b-day does not give him "street cred".

He is welcome to rent either of the Cups or the Spec Miata and see if he can beat Patricks time if he would like to prove out his skill. If he does beat Patrick, I am certain we can find him a Prodrive somewhere, no problem.

It is the only way to stay ahead of car with a very live chassis , smooth is relative , a soft easy to drive car is usually slow .....

Yeah, but this time in the Mid Atlantic where some of us Easteners could benefit from his magic

I'm sure we could come up with plenty of people willing to invest in their hobby

I would like to see in-car from when he was hanging with Melo as best the car would allow at Belle Isle. That was some serious driving, but with changing grip and concrete walls all around.

Odd that this question was never answered.

I passed Boris Said once. We were both walking through the paddock and when he had to stop at the podium, I just zipped on by.

Hey guys,

Hmm how about this, any of you in northcal? I would be more then glad to go out for race in karting/mtn ru ( best in my opinion) or track. You can pm me your info and i would be more then glad to meet you.

Enrique

p.s. As for the driver, i remember his name was Cameron something, i'll ask my brother if he recalls since he was the one talking to him while i was changing.
