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)

Car is located in North DFW, TX. Brand new 20’ enclosed trailer with only 1100 miles on it is also available separately for $5,200. If you are interested, I can send pix and details.

Over on TheDriver-Series.com a new blog post appears

I wanted to create a number of posts that recaps my all the track cars I have driven. Although I am starting out of order (starting with my current ride), I will get back on track (pun intended) soon enough. Enjoy the read.
