That would be funny except the way ACO is writing rules that might just happend

and actually I stand corrected, one other good rear engine car I left out, Renault Alpine, one of my all time favorites

Apparently no one told Panoz that......

Jarez Mifkin

Rules were different then. duh.

MTosi

Well than why didn't anyone other than Panoz try a configuration to beat the rear engine RWD R8's, I dont think they bother writing in what engine config people have to use since its assumed it will be RWD rear mid engine. Do you know for a fact the rules don't allow it? because I realy have no idea.

You have that as your location so I assume you live there so that is where you are from.

DrJupeman

The Panoz car was mid engined, just the driver sat behind the engine, right?

Bull

That is where I "am", not where I "am from". No wonder you stick with a stupid 911!

MTosi

Correct front mid engine, kind of like the Pontiac GXPR and the "Mazda RX8" are in Grand Am. The engine is fully behind the front axle.

Jarez Mifkin

Ding Ding Ding!!!!!!

jester911

Yeah if I was from there I wouldn't admit to it either.

Besides, this thread has totally convinced me to restore my 911 to a street car and get a dedicated track car. Well also maybe because of a little meeting with a certain tire wall at Barber.

I swear to the heavens above you little heretic, I'm am going to roast your way too tiny buttocks at the next event.

You sniveling little-wet-behind-the-ears-know-it-all-whipper-snapper, you ever hear of Carlo Abarth? Go look up the 60's Fiat Abarths and Abarth Simcas. Drool a little, we'll get your bib out. Just dont spit up your mush ok?

You're just torqued cause you got your butt kicked and I took away all your excuses at the awards presentation doing my imitation of you in my highest little girly whiny voice, 'ewww, I had ten-year old tires...' Hey, punk you lost to a bunch of old men who cant drive worth a lick. If you were a budding Lewis, this should have been cake. You should have been able to ice and bake 'em on a set of original NOS space saver spares. If you were a Schumi or Clark (I forgot you've never hear of him right?), you could have done it on only three of 'em on adapters mounted on a Yugo.

911s rule, know what that means? What it means is, if you cant drive one and beat people in it, then you still got a lot to learn. Capisci?

[Seriously the kid's okay, he was out in the sun all day long. Hes normally pretty respectful. I'll make sure he brings an umbrella to the next event. BTW Mike , not like you didnt deserve it. I might have to give you a ride.]

Noel

Mike did run a very nice autocross at the last event. BTW, what was your time? Ron hasn't posted the damn times yet.

Since I finished first in that class of 15, I guess, I'm on your list???

Seriously, these are great cars and I have been running street tires on mine for the last 7 years of track driving and autocross and still won the occasional autocross against race tire clad guys. It is all about smooth inputs. They are not nearly as forgiving as other cars.

MTosi

It took me a minute to figure out who that was, its still hard to recognize your car under all the krylon black . I say you put your money where your mouth is and don't just give me a ride, you let me drive your car, then you can report back to all these fine people on what sort of driver I am after I beat you . I don't get why I always get stuck peddling a bone stock street car around the course, and have to drive like a hero to keep from getting embarassed by all the old guys with cheater cars.....and as a matter of fact, I am aware of the abarth's, I distincly remember being at LRP for the vintage looking at the inline engine hangin out of the back of one of the abath's thinking why would they ever want to do that????? I'll see you out on the runway, that is if I have a car to drive, I'll have to keep working on that sad puppy dog look I use to beg for drives...

note how I said 11 cars, no one picked up on the fact I failed to mention there were 3 cars in front of me

Bull

You didn't have the lug nuts come off again, did you?

I should be rid of my car by next week!
