And that maniacal exhaust screem - this is the only car I've owned that provides thrilling sounds just on a cold start in the garage - the feeling of unbridled pent-up energy in that engine is just visceral. I last had mine out during Monterey Historics week. One of my sons and I are cruising down Carmel Valley Road when I get one of these "C'mon dad, don't be a *****, punch it!" challenges from son #2. Feeling terribly wounded, I floor the thing while in 2nd gear at about 40 mph. The thing goes completely sideways from breaking the rear end loose, starts wigging and wagging back and forth as I'm doing steering corrections until I grab 3rd at 80+ mph...and then the thing does it all over again. Then go nail some apexes - even at the track I've never had a street-legal car that just won't under steer, no matter how clumsily I'm driving it. Go too deep in a corner, no problem. Exit too early, no problem. BUT, get on the gas hard when not pointed straight? BIG PROBLEM, few drivers are good enough to catch it without a lot of runout room. Not for the timid, but definitely also not for the brave...
Great feedback Peloton I was thrilled just by reading it :P
I must say that I never experience nothing like what you discribed. It most be awesome!

What's that under the tiger? Doesn't look like a Scud or F40 to me.

You'd rather have one than your car? I mean... especially with the ATL drive!

Dunno...

Hahhahaha I was waiting for someone to call me out on that. The GT2 is a very very close second. Ps still waiting for you and Jason to add to my GT2 thread. I can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've had waiting.

I'd be on that but its that time of year.....kids back to school and all. We've still got some good weather thankfully, so I'll hit Jason up to see if we can make it happen.
