Also I thought you would enjoy the part of the clip with me passing a Porsche in an Eclipse. (Ignore the fact that neither of us are any good.) |
OOPS.. I just saw this .. Nice driving.. I think you have a lot more experience than I thought ! Still, naturally aspirated engines should be more reliable than turbos if you do more than an occasional track day
