Corner speed vs. horsepower

"My lugnuts need more torque than your Honda makes"

Yea the cheaper consumables, efficiency of the power to weight all make rational sense, but then again you have to throw logic out the window when 'splainin' our need for big power ;D

The whole "consumable deal" is a two edge sword, true the lighter car will be better on brakes and tires, but there's also the cost and expense of driveline parts to consider. There's a reason that our Boss 302 car can go 50 hours between rebuilds and our brand "X" could go....uhmm about 4...maybe.

Cayman...Cayman..isn't that the Porsche version of the Miata? 8)

In the Texas NASA region, the top of the Miata pack run the same times as the upper mid pack times in CMC

I will definitely miss the power of the Boss. That engine is perfect.

Oh don't get me wrong, I have to deal with Miatas all the time, I used to race an MG Midget, the Miata is the same idea that doesn't rust or blow up. I would submit that it takes much more skill to drive a CMC car than a Miata, those CMC cars have much more weight and no tires, where (unless someone dropped and LS-1 into it) I've never seen a Miata have to worry about "tire management".

Bobby, sorry to hear you're selling your Boss. It was great meeting you down at VIR. Hope to run into you again some time. Have fun with whatever you end up driving.
