In pursuit of a 430 Scuderia...hopefully

Holy crap!

Did you negotiate a custom deal with that many laps? Starts to add up...

I would have stayed all day but my wife was ready to yack after she killed it in the 458. I only beat her by .7 secs in the Scud : O

We went back to relax... ; )

I'm working on the garage right now and trying to visualize where the 430 will go. I think on top of the 308 on a four post lift! : )

 

Definitely! Appreciate it! Just FYI - I may be * looking* for a storied car! I have, what I think is the best body shop in the US, and am not hung up on a panel repair if it is minor. Obviously any major impact or issues is of great concern. I do however respect and appreciate those for which this is a big concern! : )

My intention would to be to never sell the scud - ever. My E92 M3 and 308 GTS are already off the market!

 

Great points! I actually somewhat-realized just that as I wrote it. Appreciate the cliff's notes so I can focus on those issues - have no idea : )

Ohhhhhh...F1 is wearable and I want to wear it so badly. That is one of my favorite things about the car. The BRUTAL redline shifts. Feels like someone punching you between the shoulder blades. Maybe it is Enzo smacking you to ensure that you are awake!

 

You have a deal! I will also bring you a proper camera setup! Hahahaha ; )

 

Thanks! Will take a look, but you guys are getting ahead of me : )

Ohhhhhh. I like black....A LOT.

 

Ohhhhh - I like white also. Will have to be tweaked to be racey enough of course : )

 

Thanks Don! Will take a look.

I did not know that - very cool. I did look at the time on the Nurburgring and it is ~30 secs faster than my e92 m3...wow. That sounds right to me.

 

I agree. Both my instructors were good, but the second one let me get closer to the outside cones and "no go blue area", which let me carry more speed.

I was 1.5s faster in the MP4 around that 1.2m track and I had 1.5 times less fun. It was also the second car, more liberal instructor, etc, so...I bet I could close that gap in the Scud, but I would also get faster in the MP4.

 

Ok - absolutely gorgeous, but I'm out because my M3 is silver : (

Ok I lied, I do have some *some* requirements.

 

Replied! You guys are killing me! I am not yet ready! ; )

I honestly call those guys "the bravest men in las vegas". That job is crazy. To assess and/or communicate with people in 5 laps and 500hp? LOL - Um, PASS on that job thanks. I'd rather get high and try to cross the highway.

I know exactly what you mean. I think my best lap ever there was a couple of years ago before they changed the course. I was in the 458. The instructor started to give less and less instruction and was super pumped at the end. We passed like 7 cars in 5 laps.

I think once you know one of the guys, and what you want, you can totally lock them in. I tip the guys $20 for being so brave because I do go all out and it has to be scary as ****. I may crash...who knows : P Once you do that, and if the place isn't mobbed, you can totally lock in a "personal coach" almost for the day. Or cycle between 1-2 guys that are really good. A lot of them still race pro; but as you likely know, just because you are a pro does not make you a good anything-else automatically ; )

 

That is pretty awesome! Already have a yellow Ferrari though ; )

ER just got a "new" Scud also - the black one. I forgot to look at mileage though; was busy smiling like a lunatic.

 

Very true. As long as temp controlled and not started frequently, should be ok with some swaps on fluid. But yah - very important.

[homer]Mmmm...lunch control[/homer]

Very cool!

I will use it!

Wait 2-3 LOL...ok no.

Oh ok then...no wait. Ow!

Any idea what it went for?

 

Thanks for info! Next time will be my third time so I will definitely put the squeeze on them. They also have competition now in town ; )

I should have sent my wife on the corvette, but she had to sit down after going max-attack haha! Was very proud of her...she was locking up the 458 under breaking!
