Re: Kia Stinger GT AWD or RWD?
Actually, the new Supra is very intriguing, IMO. About the same size as FRS. There are some first drives and basic dimensions/specs online and in the magazines. A completely different car than the Stinger of course since it is a 2-seat sports car and has more power. If that sounds good to you, you m...

Re: Kia Stinger GT AWD or RWD?
A great street car, BTW. Under 5 seconds to 60 in the RWD, and tons of room.

Re: Kia Stinger GT AWD or RWD?
Ron, the Stinger GT is a great handling car for what it is: a rather on the large size GT sedan. The new Genesis G70 is a much shorter and lighter car that is based on the same platform and drivetrain. It's only just now being made available in the US though and is going to cost a little more. The S...

Re: April Fastrack
Stock fluids or better (Redline)? :) I think I had stock oil in it - it was a very long time ago so not sure as I did run Redline in several Corvettes I had. But on the C5 the trans temp gets to 300+ within as few as 3 hard laps on a hot day there. No oil is going to protect well at that temperatur...

Re: April Fastrack
Don't try running a C5 Z06 at Big Willow in the Summer more than 3 laps either. You will lose the transmission, and the diff will be very unhappy as well.

Re: Who has JRI shocks?
Thanks Toby, I need shocks on my c5z, so these may be the ones, or Penske's. I know over the years Penske/Koni has been the Vette shock but times change. Don't like Koni's that much. :) Looking at SS results at the Nationals this last year, I see at least 4 of the top 5 finishing cars were on Konis...

Nationals Co-Drive
I know it's late in the game here, but due to a change in plans I have a seat open in the Viper for a SS co-drive at the Solo Nationals. The car is better than last year and surprisingly easy to drive quickly. It will be a top contender with the right driver. I plan to use an enclosed trailer, so ow...

The Berrys (Berries?) were finding Buttonwillow dirt in that car years later aft...

George, Mine was a later car than yours - '86 Turbo with a regular 5-spd trans. I bought it brand new for $9300 - my first new car actually. I ran almost no events in it still stock, and by the time I was done it was very low with what was then considered large wheels and tires, stiff springs, and e...

Bob, you're not old. But OTOH, I think Steve Coe may have actually invented the sport ;)
Tom, I knew you hadn't seen that car, which is why I phrased it that way. I wasn't autoxing in the late 70's, and didn't know you were?

'00 actually, but still the S52. The S54 version would be fun, but with the longer gearing - and no update / backdate - I think I'd prefer the S52. Mike Ah.

Re: Tom Berry! Another Miata course?
Gotta consider the 400 feet of straight and the drag start when looking at overall PAX at a Pro - helps the power cars.
