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!!

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.
