I'm not sure if I would ever let anyone drive that car on track.
Probably only a fellow turbo owner because they know how fast
the car gets up to speed and how easy it is to destroy
a transmission.  It's taken me a long time to learn to shift
completely differently in that car.

Trust me I had fun but since I was hitting 125mph before even
turning onto the back straight I needed to be cautious that
I wasn't going to overpower my brakes.  Having 100 more hp
gives you a whole new set of variables to pay attention to.

I know Joe is crazy!  Part of my issues is I probably spent
twice as much on just the turbo for my car then he has on
buying and modding his car!  So that even adds more caution
to my driving then I had before.  I'm there to have fun and
keeping it on track is one of my priorities as is driving
within my limits. So more seat time for me.  Next year I
will probably be able to do that.
