Here's a video I shot at the Road America event this past weekend. It was raining all day and this was the 2nd session, so everyone was taking it fairly easy, but I got a chance to follow an F430 (well, more like attempt to follow) around the track. Overall, it was a ton of fun despite the rain, and the car performed great.

P.S.: Sorry about video quality. It's just an old Hero HD and I had to reduce the file size for youtube.

Nice but too bad it rained. I was there Sunday spectating and the weather was perfect. The 430 and the ford GT were my favs.

Thanks, and yeah, wish I would have registered for both days, so I can enjoy the dry track, but I had a great time regardless. That GT was beast!

Another awesome event in the books, DD46 was a blast and I learned so much about how to drive this car. I have a lot of room for improvement as a driver, cant wait till next year!

I got to work today just in time to see a guy driving a 10 series park in the spot i always park in. I waved and parked next to him, but only got a doubletake as he walked away.

No kidding, I didn't know 10 series are out there already! How did it look?

That would be me. I would have stayed and talked but I was late to an appointment. And my bad about not waving back. Didn't see if you did or not.

I even took a really poor photo.

It looks good. I would have liked a different color personally, but the rest of it is nice. I didn't peek into the windows too much, but I noticed the keyless doors and lights right away.

It's good. I waved quickly as you were exiting. The car looks good. I just thought It was funny that you were parking in the exact same stall I always park in (by the curb away from everything) for probably the same reason as I do... Fear of door dings. I already got one when I parked by dominicks for a minute to grab something. Thank god for PDR.

Do you have any mods planned?

pinkmeansdanger · 10-29-2013, 01:26 PM

I'm indifferent about the color. The silver ignit10n color sometimes looks cool when it looks blue in indirect sunlight, but it looks plain silver in regular sunlight.

I pretty much ended up getting the 10 series because it had the push start and the auto climate center stack like the BRZ. Though the GT86 lights were a nice plus. BRZ was out of the picture for me because the regional Subaru of America rep is/was an unreasonable person during our previous run ins regarding warranty work.

I actually got a horribly bad door ding in my old STi from that same lot so I park far from everyone there.

As for mods, it's a bit up in the air until SEMA is over this year as my employer is tied up with that at the moment. But expect to see a build orientated towards trying to blend autox and drift into the same package with possibly some forced induction involved.
