So I was looking around my mostly defunct blog, and realizing that I need to go to the track more often.
Also, thought I should update my list of cars I have driven on the track, so here goes;
- 1995 BMW M3 Coupe (mine)
- The Purple one, fun track car, as good as the M Coupe.
- 1999 BMW M Coupe (mine)
- The original corruptor. This is the car that made me the trackwhore I am.
- 2002 BMW 330ci (mine)
- I did a TON of track days in this thing, eventually taking (mostly) full advantage of what it had to offer, but it was sort of slow, and had this horrible drive by wire throttle, and about the only real high end mod I did to it was a badass set of front race pads, which made it the best stopping car I had ever driven, till I got the 95 M3.
- 1993 automatic 1.8liter 88HP Ford Escort OKGo LeMons racing machine. (mine)
- I mean this little car has done 6 race days (8+ hours per day), and somehow magically wont die.
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 (Will's)
- Fast, and driven rather cautiously given that it wasn’t mine.
- 2008 Mitubishi Lancer Evo X (P's)
- Driven LESS cautiously, resulting in a spin, Perrie was not happy BTW.
- 2002 Subaru WRX (Andrews)
- Great sounding boxer motor, remember thinking it needed like 100 more HP to really be badass!
- Gen 1 White Miata (Kevin's)
- I broke this car too, well it must have been ready to go, but I believe I killed the diff, or maybe the tranny, it was a while ago.
- Gen 1 Brocolli and Licorice Miata (Andrews)
- Andrew wouldn’t let me rev it above 5k rpm, so that means I basically creeped around the track, oh and he had some fairly mid range street tires on, so fast it wasn’t.
- White Monte Carlo (Mr. Hertz's)
- The absolute worst car I have ever driven on the track, worse than my 1993 Ford Escort Automatic race car, yes that’s how bad it was.
- e90 BMW 328i (Mr. Hertz's)
- Sort of boring to drive on the track, plenty of power, lame automatic, and M+S snow tires meant mediocre handling, with good straight line speed. The brakes were good too, but really, I had more fun driving Bryan’s Scion XB in all its 100HP glory.
- 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo (Rave Boys)
- I broke this car, well truth be told Tim told me “drive it”, so I took it out at about 8/10ths and overheated his brakes, and he had coming from his pads so I suggested we get the wheels off asap to see what was going on, and that was when one of his wheel bolts snapped. Should have just driven it around at 25mph for a few minutes to let it cool first.
- 2003? Scion XB (Duffs)
- Slow, but great handling, and actually a lot of fun.
- 2004 Honda S2000 (a students)
- Awesome car, but driven at like 6/10ths since it wasn’t mine.
- 2002 Audi S4 (P’s)
- This was still when it was in Stage II guise, and I broke this car as well. I wasn’t driving all that hard, and one of P’s knockoff Samco hoses decided to split down the center, and it being something related to a turbo the car basically wouldn’t run without it. Suffice it to say, P was not pleased as I was being towed back into the pits.
- 2008 BMW M5 (Arnold’s)
- I babied this around the track, was impressed by its power, but felt like the car was way too big and had not nearly enough tire for so much get up and go.
