Mike - I like how you suggested a $50k car for Patrick. He's talking about affordable cars and low payments and you're like BAM! here's a Porsche. HAHA
Patrick - did you say a back seat is a must? I've seen some 07-08 HR Zs for cheap lately. Maybe even snag a G37 coupe for a low price and get the back seat. You know it's hard to beat the engineering that went into the Z/G.

ready to run For comparison on the brakes, i thought this was cool. after a track run we shot the temp on my calipers - they were aprox 328df - my buddies toyota celica brakes were aprox 738df! after the same run so - i was runinng faster lap times braking harder in a heavier car (debatable), and my brakes were nearly 400df cooler - i thought that was amazing. All things said and done - i would recommend these brakes to everyone - necessary? meh prob not - but awesome at what they do? yes - and get good tires - crappy tires and good brakes are a stupid combination.

mike, so you were a rolling fool huh....

Yeah those things are awesome. We had a fender rolling party at Fithamoto's house a few years ago. I think there were 5 of us (4 for sure) that pitched in for the rental so it was a cheap mod for sure.

Speaking of action pictures... does anyone have a GoPro or something similar that I could borrow this weekend? Chris has one, but he'll be racing with me.
I'm going to buy one eventually. I just need to do more research on the best one to buy.
