I did terrible because I was just trying to drive as hard as I could for the fun of it since it was my first time out and first time really pushing the car. Only got 3 timed runs and 3 fun runs. You should absolutely do it at least once.
interesting...gonna have to look into it. my only other worry is actually breaking my car down lol. thing's got 142k miles, been through 2 accidents, and currently has a mild oil leak

Really the only people that say this kinda stuff are people that have never driven one. They're 500 pounds heavier than a Mustang, sure, but still hold very similar G's in the skid pad and slalom. I'm never going to beat a Miata but it's very far from feeling like a boat really.

Yeah they won't let you on the course with any kind of leak but it's not really that stressful on the car. You won't be hitting triple digits so the stress isn't much more than taking an exit ramp. You'll def knock a couple hundred miles of tread off your tires though. There was dude out there in a Chevy Malibu cornering so hard he was 3 wheeling it around a few of them.

merlin. might have to get some new tires then before I head out. or just wait for my next car, and break it in properly lol.

i'll be that dude out there ripping the handbrake knocking over all the cones

on a semi-related note, any car aficionados feel free to chip in. Currently perusing new cars (only looked at dealerships, but will probably buy used if I end up getting one). I want something practical and sporty, basically any car that will be quicker than my current 2008 VW Rabbit (not too hard to beat) will suffice. Don't want something too fancy, as it will be used for doggo transpo, and will be getting dirty. pretty much has to be manual. So far of the ones I've looked at, I'm more inclined towards a Mitsubishi Evo or GTI, looking to stay in the low 30's of the cars original MSRP,

Your car weighs more than my Blazer and imagine how much better you'd do if it didn't weigh 4500 lbs.

see above, 2008 VW Rabbit. I'm the same, it's completely paid off and I see no reason to incur a car payment. just looking now in the event something srs breaks down I don't want to fix.

have also considered getting a truck, and doing the pre-runner modifications to it that everyone in so-cal is doing. Luckily, my brother up north has had plenty of experience, and works in the industry, so he can hook me up with parts/people to do work on it if I went that route. or really any modding route. But there's something about the ability to jump a truck and seeing that suspension travel that is so hhnnggg

It doesn't, it's like 4000. Weight is only one of many factors that affect cornering, not sure why people get so hung up on it. The Viper is like 3500 and holds 13 track records, yet retards still like to make it out to be some kind of tank because it's not made of fiberglass and American.

I'm actually on my second transmission.

Oh pre-runner, that's original. Saw those trucks all the time in the 2000's when I worked at a gas station. Please don't be like everyone else.

The viper is on a whole other level dude. Race suspension, lowered, wide set, all the things that the challenger isn't.

lol I'm more than aware it's the current fad, and I didn't even like the concept of it until very recently when my bro took me for a ride in his. Ever since then, its been slowly growing on me

My ideal vehicle would be something like a Audi SQ5 or a Porsche Macan Turbo, but until those are achievable, there really aren't any SUV's I'd really consider getting. So it's either a little ricer or a cheap truck I can dump some money into

the previous post was made as an invitation for suggestions for cars to look at though, so feel free to advise

See my brother's instagram for what sparked my interest



Took me a while to get used to the lack of front bumper, but now that I am, it actually looks more aggressive to me.

Have considered V8 muscle as well, namely the challenger (huehuehue) as I like the old muscle car look, but I'm worried the handling won't be quite so good lol

In the same boat. 167-169k miles with an oil leak that I go back & forth on bothering to fix. I don't want to throw more $$$ into it if it's not going to pass emissions anyway, which I was informed would be unlikely the next time around.

On the other hand, if I can fix things and manage to drive it for a decent length of time longer, then I have absolutely no issue keeping it 'til it falls apart. I'd be tempted to just replace it with a newer model anyway. But I really enjoy my cheaper insurance and not having a car payment.

On the other hand, if I can fix things and manage to drive it for a decent length of time longer, then I have absolutely no issue keeping it 'til it falls apart. I'd be tempted to just replace it with a newer model anyway. But I really enjoy my cheaper insurance and not having a car payment.

wanna get a quote on how much the oil leak will cost to fix, but to do that, they need to take some things apart. at that point, might as well just get it fixed, since I'd be paying for the labor regardless

Took me a while to get used to the lack of front bumper, but now that I am, it actually looks more aggressive to me.

Have considered V8 muscle as well, namely the challenger (huehuehue) as I like the old muscle car look, but I'm worried the handling won't be quite so good lol
