LS (for 1st time) May 30/June1. Looking forward to it as everyone raves about LS. After the experience I will decide on future events. I was keeping an eye on that event though, 3 days!, oh so nice.

Man, I need to just pull the trigger eh? Which car would be better there? Spyder or RS?

Are you doing Spring Mountain with SV in two weeks? As Ahnold says " I'll be back!" lol

I'm bogged down at work until mid-june sadly.

I have not run LS yet myself. Really looking forward to it.... I know of a really ace instructor around those parts. He will make you FAST. PM me if you're interested.

Ideally... you should trailer your Spyder with your 10'RS so you can run both! That being said, LS is more of a momentum track than a high-speed track... maybe a good break in for your Spyder.

But from a second track toy perspective, PCCB, Sport Chrono, LiON battery, all the OE weight-loss items, then it makes perfect sense. Weight is the enemy after all to a great handling car. Wait until you see the black anodized, ultra lightweight, forged alloy wheel$ I have going on it in three weeks

I am as excited to get this little rascal tracked as I was the RS. And that track time is only ten days away And I have never owned a convertible and up here in the Sierra Nevada mountains it will be great for topless fun runs too.

I wonder if I can get the license tag "TRACKVAG"? hehe... A take-off on being a track-bitch...

You know I just did another two track days at Spring Mountain this past weekend with the RS. What a car, just a pleasure to wring it out. Over 4000 miles on it with half of that track miles. New brake pads and new tires already.

Track Crack Baby! Lol
LOL you are too funny. I love that you tracked the RS right away as it should be, I hear you on the options depreciation issue been there done it 10 times the car is cool and really good looking do it up and have some fun with it!

Thanks RUF! After 200 miles I regret nothing about the spec except I should have added rear park assist (!) Small car but seating position makes it a bear to judge distance from objects when backing.

PDK+PSE is incredible and makes some delicious mechanical and exhaust noises.

Motor is 3.4, 320hp/273tq. Silky smooth. Remember, it is a (relatively) light car, a little goes a long way. 0-60 with PDK is right at 4.1 secs.
