:biggrin:as they say, I ran out of talent just before I ran out of track! actually, i turned in too early and you can't lift or pinch the exit in the Kink or you will spin due to trailing throttle oversteer. Your only option is to try and run wide onto the grass as smoothly as possible and...

...or which ever head and neck restraint system you choose. I crashed in the Skip Barber F2000 yesterday and was happy I had mine on! I went 4 off at the Kink at Road America during my last race and foolishly tried to re-enter the track too soon. I was probably going between 105-110 mph when I...

Good article on the Evora in this month's Automobile magazine. Jamie Kitman liked it. Interesting comment about it resembling the old Lancia Stratos from certain angles. i don't really see it as a 911 competitor however.

The biggest problem will be fit and finish issues, which are always suspect in Loti. While the Elise/ Exige crowd has forgiven these issues, I doubt that Evora customers will be as understanding, they will be expecting a luxurious grand tourer. The fragile fiberglass body is another point...

NSX's are kind of in that limbo state between being just desirable used cars and collectable classics. The most valuable cars in the future will be low-mile, completely original NA1 cars (esp. Zanardi's). Ones purchased today and driven minimally and left unmodified may well be investments. I...

In that these invitations (advertisements) for HPDE's are relevant as regional track-related get-togethers, I don't see what the problem is. Whether or not they are exclusive to NSX's doesn't matter to me. As far as the quality of Feff's events, put me down in the rave category. They are...

Join us at Autobahn on August 3rd, I'll be instructing. MVPtracktime.com.

'04, second owner, 103,XXX miles.

well bought, congratulations!

Depends; What's the drop? Is it a progressive rate spring?

Are you racing in NASA or SCCA or both? W 2 W or HPDE's? Got some friends from the Quad Cities in Spec Miata w/ SCCA.

I assume you are rim-shotting the turns and driving pretty much the opposite of the dry line, aren't you? If not, try that. Also, brake earlier and lighter and make all your inputs gentler... BTW, Glad makes some huge zip-lock bags for storage that are great for storing your gear in if you...

Drove a 996T, modified to 600 hp at Blackhawk Farms 2 years ago and was very impressed with the brute velocity of the beast. It is not an easy car to drive at the limit on a race track and I've driven a few. I can see where TTO (and throttle on oversteer for that matter) can bite hard with...

Thanks for posting.

somewhat off topic, but I know a guy who got a Lotus Exige 260 Cup car licensed for street use in Iowa. The car is sold w/o headlights or a VIN, he said it took some cash and banana bread. LOL Sometimes it's good to live in the Midwest.:biggrin:

My first NSX was an automatic and I sold it to buy an Elise. I owned the Elise for 2 years and sold it to buy 2 go-karts and race in the Skip Barber race series. I sold the karts and bought another NSX because I always wanted an '02+. I don't track street cars hard anymore so a NA NSX is...

I like it, big improvement!

Wish mine was Kaiser silver, love that color! It had a relatively short run didn't it? Fortunately most of the front and the lower half of the back is plastic, making it much cheaper to repair than an all fiberglass car in the event of a minor parking lot impact. Major aluminum damage is...

I've had 2 MDX's, an '01 and now, the '07. I like the '07 re-style. It's had a couple electronic gremlins but has otherwise been great. Lot of content for the $, decent utility for hauling stuff. Gas mileage is slightly disappointing.

47. First saw one at 29. Bought first one at 37, second one at 46. I like 'em.:biggrin:

tracking street cars is fun but it's a slippery slope. I took my NSX out on the track Monday when I instructed for a buddy of mine. I only ran part sessions and just hard enough to show students the proper brake points and demonstrate some threshold braking. I've never felt I could push a...

at Road America July 18th w/e. featured marque is 3.0 liter turbocharged F1 cars. I'll be meeting a few Lotus peeps there.

For me it's an ovals vs. road courses issue. I'd rather watch Nextel Cup cars at Infineon or Watkin's Glen than Indy Cars at Indy or Chicagoland. There is still good open-wheel racing in the states in the Star Mazda series and Formula BMW, sadly, it gets little or no air time and little...

My Elise attracted crowds like no other car I've owned, unfortunately, mostly teen-aged boys. It was not fun to drive 5 hours to Road America but a blast once I got there. I liked the sport bike on crack sound, ran a decat pipe and Arqray exhaust. You definately have to be chummy w/...

thanks guys, I'll give it a try this w/e. I think the headlight lenses are plastic on the '02+, anyone know for sure?
