I'd put deposits down for two 4BW's and one 5BW when I first heard about them. Waiting and waiting for a 5BW allocation, one of my 4BW spots became available. I'd been working on my brother to buy one to continue a little game we've played over life. He said he wasn't going to spend that much...

I know the stick is not for everyone, my brother went with the automatic. But: Auto is quicker in a drag race, but stick eats it on the track. Do you know the stick has some kind of "anti stall" feature where you don't need to give it gas when letting the clutch out? Computer will give it...

How do I reach an Admin person to report a scammer among us?

Wow, if I knew of that car being 25 or even 20K below sticker I'd have bought it to store one while I thrash on the other. I've got a Watkins Glen IMSA car. True there are no performance upgrades, but I wanted the carbon fiber options 1 and 2 but due to constraints it was not possible to get...

Remember, our TPC spec tires have a softer rubber than standard 4S tires. It's a blend of the 4S compound and the Cup 2 compound. With 2 degrees negative camber you will definitely wear out the inside in less that 15K miles. I had about 8K miles before going to -1.8 front and -1.4 rear. Then...

You should be able to get that Impact Edition for $10K under MSRP. A while ago Pepe Cadillac in White Plains NY was advertising one for $10K under MSRP. If you like the color, grab it!

Here, watch one perform on the track against comparable cars. This is basically a box stock class.

Here's the video of the last of my 5 sessions at the school. With 4 more days track days, I'm much smoother now.

All this talk about the Cup 2R's? Clearly the 4S TPC Spec is the better tire for daily street driving. The Cup 2R's are desired for track days. But why use Cup 2R's for track days rather than Michelin S8M's or S9M's?

Look your springs over closely. The mechanic prepping the car at the delivering dealer could have left one or both of the blocks in the springs that are installed at the factory for shipping purposes. If you see one, jack the front end up one side at a time to take the weight off the spring...

I can watch that all day! 115mph through turn 2, into the Esses at 120 and coming out at 145 before hitting 160 on the back straight.👏 What group were you in? That looked like a combination of B and C groups. I only know the HOD system, which goes: A-Novice (with instructor) A-Solo B C D...

I just turned 60 and recently bought the first new car of my life. Feeling like the "kid in the candy store" driving this thing. Always wanted to try driving something on a track. There's plenty of stock "Showroom floor" cars going faster than me. No death wish here, it's called being an...

Yes, I have the PDR. I watch the videos over and over and over and over looking for areas for improvement. At Watkins I was slowing to 90mph entering turn 2. From watching the videos and the G-force meter and considering the slicks, I know I'll be over 95mph entering turn 2. I was entering...

How far are you from Lime Rock and Palmer? There's also an event at Watkins Glen July 4th-6th with Hooked On Driving. That will be a huge event. Camping, bands, fireworks, the whole works.
