It is amazing to see how the newer cars drive so fast, so easily. I just don't know how much FUN and SATISFACTION one gets from a car that drives itself at ANY speed. I have driven many cars on the track, and really, the ones that make me work and concentrate are the most satisfying. Some of you may know that I drive a 40 year old 911 somewhat modified and well sorted. It is a handfull and I wouldn't trade it for anything..... at this point. I drive to the event, track the car vigorously (it loves to be driven hard but not abused) and drive it home after the weekend. Brake pads last me a season as well as the Toyo R888's. The last set of tires, I logged 17 track days, 4 to 5 sessions each as well as traveling to and from the events. I know I am not the fastest out there, but I have a TON of fun for a reasonable cost. The best is knowing that I achieved the speeds and lap times without any aid.
