To sit in it and drive through the streets of downtown Bellevue and watch peoples faces....Priceless.

Love the sound this car puts out

Glad you stopped by to check it out Lenie!

Now... If I could just finish up that danged Camaro I could get the oil and tires changed and get her ready for RTTA...

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Since you're taking this mean little biatch to Thunderhill in less than 2 weeks you might as well watch this guy's line now that you're Bondurant trained and all....

The faster Time Trial guys run A6'6 because they heat up faster and dont need to run the whole session to achieve the fastest lap times. They say A6's could be up tp 2 seconds faster than R6's due to the softer compound but they wont last the whole 20 minute session.

Okay -- that makes sense! Expensive - but makes sense!

I've experienced the cold tire/cold track lack of grip!

If you're going out for the first time -- how long do you give your tires to get some heat in them?

I noticed how much downforce the wings add while driving the Formula Mazdas at Bondurant... IF you keep your speed up going thru a corner they were noticeable... the guys I was on track with couldn't figure that out...
