Awesome picture. That is on my "to-do" list for 2011, is take the car to an open track day at Nelson Ledges.

I wouldn't mind one, but I really like having this car an auto since its my daily. The nice part is that it was a one lap at a time event with some of the corners "conned" off to keep speeds down. Locking the car in 2nd worked perfect. I'd usually get down to 40 a the slowest and I'd just barely tap the rev limit on the straight.

There's one dog leg corner where I come into it going about 60 and stay flat out and holy hell its fun in that car. The rear end literally swings out but doesn't quite...break out. If you look close in my sig pic the rear is slightly coming out. Thats kinda how the car drives out there. I think doing a 20 minute lap session would be hard. You'd have to pace yourself because the brakes would bake in no time.

I will say this with 19's, and lower profiles I'm sure these cars can hang G's with the bigger sedans no problem.

Track days are big fun! It has been a few years, but I really enjoyed having the Marauder on the track.

The tires on my Fox did the exact thing this summer a few times out at the track too.

The quality of that picture is superb...props to the photographer! He or she knows what they're doing. I think I just found my new laptop wallpaper, thank you very much!

BTW...in your sig, you say your wife drives a Cobra with over 460hp(!) at the wheels?!? Daily?!?!?! You're my hero bro.
