This is a highly
capable track car. On short tracks like MSR, ECR and Cresson, you can hang with
big boys like Porsche GT3’s and GT4’s. I have personally seen this car pass a
Lamborghini Gallardo twice in the same session. OK, the owner of TDR was
driving and maybe the Lambo driver was not the fastest driver, but I remember
he was very upset he got passed – twice – by a Miata within just a handful of
laps. It was greatness!
Priced at $12,995 Or best offer (obo)
