I saw that thing at Barrett-Jackson or Good Guys (something at Westworld in Scottsdale). It was running circles in a parking lot with a bunch of paying customers on board. Looked like an "exciting", but dumb ride.

Given how regular the cars are that everyone else is posting, I suppose this shot will fit right in....

I've barely touched it yet. I removed the DRL which was easy. A supercharger is in the plans, but still waiting to hear more about the Lotus offering. I'd really like to get the cam timing from the 08 SC (2nd cam kicks in early if you floor it, and later if you're just putting around).

Do the guys who imported that still import them? I probably would sell my Evo for one of those, as you pointed out most of the public have no clue what a Cossie Escort is, which means I wont have to worry about teenagers trying to race, or key my car...

I just checked out Sunspeed.com, interesting place. If I come across $200,000, I know what Im going to buy...

it's like driving your WRX, cept it's alot lighter and more nimble. real easy and just like any normal car. in fact, the cosworth is my weekend grocery getter/errand runner/around town putter.

i'll bring it out to one of the marina del rey sunday morning meets one day

How is the lag? I know that was one of my friends complaints about the car, He had it before the Evo/WRX's hit the shores here, so it was even cooler at the time for people who knew what it was.

I would love to see it up close. (seen the car parked at the Japanese car show once I iirc)

If the common folk thought your TT was small, they are in for a real shock!

Q. Why should you work for a company that isn't open on Saturday ?

A. So you can use the parking lot!
