And no, no power steering.
And would you feel comfortable with the small interior, low windshield height and tight foot-box?

Please, I've owned 2 Miatas, 2 Lotuses and a Fiat, plus a formula vee and shifter kart.
If your seat slid back all the way I could deal with the rest.

Yes, Rick, 275/35/15s are expensive![/quote]
You think those are expensive try 335/30-18's...........Only good think is I won 4 at the Porsche Speed Festival at Calif Speedway
Better to be lucky than good
Good luck Bill.........Tom and I always found it's more fun and cheaper to share a ride....or you rationalize spending twice as much
.........Don't they give you Hoosier's if you win.....You do win don't you? ? ? ? :gpower:

Re: Looking for co-driver for the rest of the year (and beyond?)
Uh oh.. you're gunna make him explain how turbo cars rely on atmosphere multiplication to make power and if they are already at the limit of the turbo, because of the multiplication, the drop in atmospheric pressure actually hurts them more...Bob Beamesderfer wrote:Yeah, Marshall, I don't think you have much to worry about!

It certainly doesn't look that way from the El Toro resutls

Anyways, why won't someone drive with Bill? Are there that many Ferrari haters? Rides in cars this good don't come along often, especially season-long where you can actually get enough seat time to get comfortable.

Re: Looking for co-driver for the rest of the year (and beyond?)
There aren't many people who drive *well enough* to justify the cost vs the benefit. I actually suggested Bill talk to you Jason... but that was before Ken's really cool bet (which you still haven't taken!)

And wouldn't this also be the place where you would explain how hard BSP's PAX is and how soft (I'm imagining you'd like CSP's PAX to be about .899) CSP's PAX is? When in reality, it's quite the opposite, PAX-wise!Marshall Grice wrote:oh crap, does this mean CSP is going to be in the bump class at wendover?

This one sort of hits both Steve and Mike's requests...sort of

But here's a better one for Mike. Haven't run across a cattle prod yet.
