Nice to see he fits in the trunk. Looks good for me if I am gonna have a few JDM Girls...

can't wait to see Jack Baruth's take on it...

He complains about power on the track and yet he never downshifted, not once. He wasn't in the power band all the time. It was entertaining to watch though overall.

Huh? He's clearly driving a manual-equipped car. I'm not sure what you mean.

The thing is, you really don't want a high HP car for the track, at least not as a novice. You need to learn proper braking, cornering, weight transfer, etc. Otherwise you'll just end up braking too much and too early and forgetting to downshift like Mr. fatass reviewer. There's a good reason why Spec Miata is so popular.

Jeez, the guy drove like my grandmother. Not one bit of tire scrubbing noise, and the revs look like they barely hit 5K. :thumbdown:

SUB-FT86 05-09-2012 08:55 AM

This guy sounds way too feminine.

Tbxgz 05-09-2012 11:07 AM
