No, this was the full "blown" turbo model. It was the '97 model year and in fact it received some upgraded content like a 6-speed. The price cut was a whopping 10k from around 50 large down to 40. Th

I agree. Most of the people I know who run them also do club drivers schools. They like the A032s because they wear very well at the track. They are a good compromise for cost/wear/performance for tr

I was discussing this last night with a friend who races in SCCA IT. That's not Indy cars or F1 by a long shot, but it was interesting to get a racer's perspective. He noted that the wall Greg hit wa

Funny you should ask! I'm in Panama City from the DC region for two months on business and recently asked the same question to see if taking the R1s along was a good idea. It was, I did! There was an

To "all y'all" down in the Florida Panhandle area, any events from 1 Nov - 17 Dec? I'll be in Panama City on business and was wondering if I should bring the R1s when I drive down from DC. Thanks! --

Hate to ruin a dream, but... I don't think it will outperform a C5. There, I'm a BMW nut and I said it. The problem is that the M Roadster already weighs 3000 lb or more. The Z8 is going to be a flag

I'd like those courses too, but one thing bothers me. I like turns over 90 degrees. What would the Monaco grand prix be without it's hairpin? What's wrong with a 180 or even 360 degree skidpad turn?

Want to hear something even funnier? It's ~250 lb lighter than a M Roadster! Actually, the ti is a lot bigger than a Metro or Festiva. The ti is bigger than an E36 M3... minus eight inches of trunk.

I agree... with some qualifiers. The amount of NVH usually only indicates how much $$ a car maker has spent eliminating NVH. You could make a Neon as quiet as a BMW if you put 10 grand into the price
