>> So you own a helmet and a volkswagon. that makes you a know-it-all race driver.. Hahaha. <<Not at all, it just makes me an interested observer.
>> It's amazing how you relate lack of driving skill just because there is no mention of rubber? Most people who race take care of the rubber right off. <<Didn't you just anwer your own question?
>> Oh please! What would you know about going fast driving a VW in mall parking lots? <<One think I know for sure is that buying a fast car has no bearing on the owner being a decent pilot, as as been proven on mall parking lots many times over. Each time I see a guy with a shiny new Vette, I think 'milk toast,' and ya know what, he usually is.
>> How about powering out of a turn? <<How about it?
>> Did you ever consider a proper balance of handling, braking and power? <<...never entered my mind.
>> Ever try drag racing? <<Never. I tried running an oval once and couldn't finish a single lap - the most frightning experience of my life.
>> I'm sure you think there is no skill involved in that.. <<Wrong again, it just doesnt interest me very much; though, I do watch it on TV once in a while.
>> I have a corvette that ran a 12.9 @ 111.3 mph with a 2.1 60' time in stock form. The car can also corner, brake and rides like a dream. Oh, and it was all on the stock rubber. <<This is exactly what I'm talking about. I don't care what your car can do when someone else is driving it. What can *you* do?
>> I done the X-cross parking lot stuff.. boring.... <<You got your ass kicked, didn't you Mike?

someone else is driving it. What can *you* do?Those are MY times. My car and me driving. I've been drag racing for over 15 years at the track. The mags review the car in the low 13's.

"I misunderstood, nice run. Do you ever turn the thing?"Felix... I have only done the 1320 so far. I don't have much experience on a road coruse. I recently missed an opportunity at the new Texas speedway to do a few "hot" laps. I am waiting for another chance. I need a good driving school first before I can do what the car is capable of.
My son completed driving school at road Atlanta. He finally had a chance to see what his M3 was capable of. He is trying to get me down there to do the same. He turned some good times.. I'm afraid he will show me up! I can get him good in the 1320.. I think he will toast me on the road course.
