E55
In Willows, CA

This is one of my favorite track and been there so many times. I was there last Thursday for a private track day. I was going to bring my E55 or my Camaro, but end up bringing my brother-in-law's Z06 instead and the two Spec-Miata as always.

What was the setup on the E55? brakes pads, brake fluid, tires, tire pressures, suspension, transmission settings, track times?

egxpimp, I thought you moved to HK already?? Do you skip school b/c of this driving event?

I missed the last one.... my work and side business have occupied me in the past 3 months.... I even don't have time to wash my cars, let alone 1-day of driving school

cuz im just going to my *** off at you...this guy was VERY good..throwing a sedan like that takes skills...plus the fact he races with his porsche says someting..so dont bust a stupid thing like u would with gustav...and the member i saw at the track yesterday... u said ucome to mbworld once in awhile--come online to confirm it to the none believers!!

What do you drive and where are you? I'd love to show you what an E55 can do.

oh ooo Come the 11th of Nov to thunderhill sign up at nasaproracing.com i believe is the site... i want you to 'show me' i drove a 350Z... that day i'm thinking of taking a boxster so you have near 3 times the power i do lets see how you will do in the twisties...remember this guy said he races in the porsche racing league-and he was very good, i know i could have taken him if i had brakes but lets not talk if's-- you can make the trip from so cal the 11th, dont pull a Jenson Button now!

DAN, i think we have another one joining in in the fun !

I don't even know where to begin. Pick a closer track to me and I'll show. You really think a car without power has a chance on an open track? HOW? This argument isn't even worth having. OK, you win. Maybe your mad skills are just beyond mortal powers and you somehow add power? A boxster may be able to take an E55 in a parking lot, but on the open road? Never.

As for your boy being MArio Andretti. No disrespect to R, but I use and abuse a Pcar on a weekly basis. Your boy does need to speak up and defend himself, instead of having you bash his car. It ain't the car's fault.
