He mentions HPDE so I assume it was basically open to all vehicles. You should have sweet talked the woman some more.... Took me 6 months to convince mine. She can't complain, she picked out the FRS.

I plan on tracking both cars.

It was the price kinda funny how she got a Maserati and I got an FR-S... But happy wife makes a happy life and I am happy with what I got so maybe next year I can get a muscle car I have owned a mustang Corvette Camaro charger and gto I'm really only missing challenger and barracuda my wife has had the fire bird and transam but I plan to own all of them for at least some period of time to make my ownership collection complete only 24 so I have plenty of time I hope.

I'd like to see a pic of the Maserati! After the Boss is paid off my next car is either a Viper or C6 Z06....

Purely a driver issue.

I agree, I've driven a few boss mustangs at mid ohio, and I doubt I'd come within 5 sec. of the same time I've run in those with my fr-s. I'd be happy being about 10-12 sec. behind

Yeah I saw an SRT 10 viper for sale in the paper for $22k not sure if it had problems but I would definitely love to own one at some point. And Maserati is a great used car not hard to find them in the mid 20's after they get to be a few years old and no body knows you only paid $29k for a car that not to long ago cost well over $80k. Like my old Ferrari 308 people thought it cost me way more than the $12k I paid for it. I laughed because a kit car of one was almost as much as the real thing. But the kit car would have had less problems LOL. I have the same out look on the Boss if I wait I will hopefully find a well taken care of one for half the price of a new one.
