Not many Mars red BS out there. I thought I post before my track day tomorrow with JrCart, Luke and others.

Goregous pics Jim. I love the color and when I saw it last week at Evosport I was amazed how good it looks in person. We should have a good mix of cars there tomorrow - look forward to meeting you.

Beautiful Jim, what do you use on your exhaust tips?
Maybe it's the winter gas in Dallas but mine don't look nearly that good.

Thank you, Nikon D80. We've had a lot of winds in SoCal, and this had to be the clearest day I've seen in years.

It's actually a transponder for the toll roads. Windshield monted transponder doesn't work well with the Madico windshield protection.

Had a blast, some ecu problems with the chipped cars. Some low 1:30's. I believe Brad O the hot shoe had a 1:33.6 in JrCarts car with the traction control on! I'll post some observations tomorrow. We got some video and I'll have to see if I got a decent lap. I had some mid 130's but we weren't running for times just fun.

Good times. Getting through 8 at 120+ on a low 1:3x (during a ride-along) is a kick in the tail! Wish I could have joined you today, if only to have taken some more pics of your fine machine(s) and say “hi.” Alas, work put the kibosh on any such important matters.

There’s always another track day beckoning…

I asked that question when I was at the factory and they told me 11% would be red. That would be about 38 cars.

Chuck,
I need to post a correction Based upon my wifes recallection and who wants to argue with their wife. Mars red is 8%. Silver was just under half of the production run.
This was in Oct 07 so, these were based on the production as of that time.

Not me brother, like you I know better!

Probably held pretty ture on your numbers through the end of production for silver and red is my bet. Would love to know what the breakdown looks like.
