How fast is a Roadster- that is the question. My experience has been that
even though the Roadster may not be as fast as some cars, we make them fast
by driving ability. It seems we go out and really use our Roadsters - the
way they were designed to be used. It may be because they are repairable
and can be had for a fraction the cost of a Z3 - I don't know. But, we all
have stories about doing 180's, losing it, autocrossing, etc.. This makes
us better drivers. I got into a race around a loop exit ramp with a new
corvette - and bet it. Does this say the Roadster is faster in corners then
a corvette - No. It means the guy driving the corvette did not know how to
drive around corners. Does this say I am a great driver -No. The Roadster
allows you to use a corner properly. Like most of you guys, I can get into
a corner, set the suspension and exit at a descent line. This is something
I practice a lot. When is the last time you saw a Z3 balls out in a corner
- I have yet to see this.
Is the Roadster fast? Yes, because we have the balls to run them to win!!
Happy Roadstering in the corners
