I remember your car. It was owned by the guy that had all of the Pac Rim Connections and lived along the coast of Cal. I think near San Luis or Santa Barbera.. Right??

No he never actually put the CF on the car he had. He sold it to FVMC.

I finally got a video running with our Diasio on the track at the same time as the Elise. No comparison for speed and handling, but I thought it was a nice perspective on the raw handling and acceleration that it has. No way I could keep up with it, it just flies through the turns pulling close to 2 G's.

Good luck on your sale. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous car. And I love your videos, especially with the captions and commentary. You drive very well.
