Funny you should say that. I actually considered it to the point of checking out if Flyin Miata had anything out for the new MX5. Not yet.

Well they are selling a track only Spec Miata for only for 54K USD.

I second the motion, 911.....

What are we talking ... 1.8L, NA, 150HP (maybe less???), ~2300lbs? Pretty pricey at 54K US if thats the case. The GT350R is $80K CDN. Easy choice, no?

2.0l, 165hp. Definitely not as quick as GT350R.

[Bimmerista]

Thanks for the input guys.

Yes Mr. Tonybest I was always checking in from time to time but thread was dormant for a while or only discussed track things so I had less to contribute.

Hey "G". Thanks for the link. Interesting read. I still like the GT350R. The engine scream is chilling

On the BMW front, Lise has been ogling BMWs again. She likes the little pocket M2. It should be a popular seller.

i am driving it the most I can till very late this month... or if possible early dec. I will be storing it then.

This car brings me so much joy to drive it. I'd love to find me a nice road trip next spring.

Yeah the GT350R is quite tempting, get it

M2 should be fun too, is she gonna get it?

I think we'd only get one so it will need to be strategic. Lise has been pining for a Z06 for some time. That is just nuts - too powerful. Plus I think they are ugly as heck - so I say niet. But she also likes 911s. Which is ok. To import or not .... that is the question. I had her look at something more suitable in size and power last month and introduced her to the M235 and more recently the M2. Who knows. If I can unload the M3, trailer and truck I'd get the GT350R (with some Seb magic) and a winter beater in a heart beat. Lise in 911 or M2 ... I can see that.

We live in interesting times.

The Z06 is a dud, with heating issues after couple of laps. That is quite disappointing....M2 would be great for her.

I need the mod bug to bite me again.

As the temperature drops, I need something to look forward to in the spring...

Any "must do's" people recommend?

There is a long waiting list in Canada for the Shelby 350R. The Ford GT out next year should be even more spectacular. The 3.5L 600+ HP engine that will go in the GT has been doing well at IMSA the last two seasons. Other than the car show reveal earlier this year I havent been able to find any early sneak peak track info and the Chip Ganassi team isnt saying anything ... Ahhh, the toys ...

You need to put a deposit to get on the wait list
