LOL

 

I still think you've got no chance!

50k off for just driving out of the dealer lot...hehe, that sux! Gotta love the factory options though! And the car itself, If you ever wanna give it away...look no further, I'll gladly accept the keys!!!!!!

Woe, wait a sec. how much is it to insure????

 

what do you do for a living?

 

Real estate finance.

 

Nice braut-rocket man! I've actually never seen pics of it till now. You ALWAYS used to post pics of your Supra (especially after the RH's). BTW, those are HRE 445's I'm seeing, correct? What size and offset?

 

545 18"x8.5" and 18"x12" I don't have the offset at my finger tips.

 

Those bastards are PRICEY!!! I was thinking about a set when i get an FD, but I don't think I could sleep at night knowing my wheels ran me $4,000+!!!

 

Nice lookin' ride Indy. I think that 355 must of been a really quick one to be only down six cars from you. Ah, the battle of Ferrari vs. Porsche. It never gets old.

Oh, here I am running a Porsche TT with GT640 package. The DA was 2100 ft.

Hey thanks Greg, you ever run Joe from a roll? If so what was the outcome and and Video?

 

Joe is a serious car guy. I don't think he would really care much about my car vs. his GT2 Porsche EVOM GT700 other than in a fun and novel way to jab at the ribs of each other. All in all that GT Porsche is a better car, handles like a dream and has air conditioning. If he wants to kick my *** and go faster in a straight line he'll do it at the drag strip and hop into his built 69 Charger with a giant motor and wet shot on slicks to knock off nines in the 1/4. The Porsche is going to kick my *** all day long around corners. Hehe. I can't even keep up with all the cars Joe has and has had. He's a true exotic car enthusiast that drives all the cars with respect and at times to their abilities. Last time I saw him he was screaming on by were I work with a Ferrari F430 convertible.

All that said I ran Joe's GT2 from a 2nd gear roll into 4th up to about 120 mph last Summer coming home from a club drive. It was blistering hot and we were coming off of the highway. Joe probably had his AC on. LOL He pulled me to have the nose of my car at his door. There are tons of variables to any single race. At that time I think we both had good pulls. At any other time I can tell you these cars are so fast(street car perspective) if either guy would miss a shift while at low speed the other guy is going to flash ahead by two or three cars.

I've added about 40 wheel HP since then. Looking at how my car is set up now, times, dyno numbers, calculators and environmental conditions it's a pretty simple estimate. Joe's car is faster at high speed. My car is very light in weight and I drive around on Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials most of the time. Not much will beat it up to 100 mph from a standing start. The hotter and more humid the air the greater advantage a turbo would have. The colder and drier the air the advantage shifts to NA. My car has a cd of about .5, terrible. Anything over about 110 mph is like driving with a parachute.

I must say for me it was like a gift from God to find the exotic car club Joe and his father created. I'd either be dead or in jail by now from street racing otherwise. Renting the track is a whole lot safer and legal. Everyone understands one car isn't better than the next and all the cars have qualities to be admired. Pretty much everyone in the club is a racer, so we all know a little Lotus Elise is going to slam those tight low speed corners every time and a Bugatti Veyron is damn fast and will kick most asses silly including mine.

Even pumped up rice mobiles, neon lights and hydraulics deserve respect because the people that have them put their hearts and soles into what they like. You just gotta take it all in perspective and appreciate every car and driver for what they are.

 

Nice Cobra, great vids!
