    Help me figure out "life after the V6 Mustang" - BRZ, another S197, a Corvette, keep or sell my V6 S197 as a fun DE car???

    Three years and 60,000 miles later.... I am glad I didn't get the BRZ considering it's built for NASCAR (they seem to blow up in extended right hand turns) and I think if I did anything at this point, it would be a newer EcoBeast car.

    Were you avoiding the new bus stop curb by rules, preference, or because its too aggressive now?

    MUSTANG 60TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AT BARBER

    Does anyone have any intel on who the photographers were? I spotted vests with cameras in at least 3 different locations in Very Advanced but I've no idea who they were.

    No one drives more aggressively than a person who cant afford a V8 version of his car

    Falken RT660: recommendations for 18x11 Apex wheels

    Falken is also, I think, the only company with a contingency. They've also been spotty about everything from replacing the tire, no questions, to blaming it on you for running too low PSI. I dont intend to be rude. Its just a "caveat emptor." It seems like every month in racing season, someone...

    Budget street/hpd tires

    You've gotten some great feedback here... but I will add a few points to what's already said...I ran 3 years of track on 300TW summer sport tires. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, Pilot Super Sports, and Pirelli Pzero.... a year of street driving (figure 10-15,000 miles), 3-5 track events... and...

    Falken RT660: recommendations for 18x11 Apex wheels

    I have eye-witness accounts going back to as short as late last year of tires that weren't older runs....Play a stupid game, get a stupid prize as far as I'm concerned....I'd look at the Continental Extreme Contact Sport or the Kumho V730(?) long before I look into buying a Falken.....

    Google "rt660 delamination issues" before you buy one.... its kind of a "play stupid game, get stupid prize" thing at this point

    I had about 2-3 seconds a lap improvement over a 3 mile track with a proper Michelin TCR take off slick vs. 200 TW Bridgestone RE71R or most any other 200 tw tire I ever threw at the car. I'm not sure if your Pirelli is a like a slick marketed to the public or the racecar slick
