You used to drive on the Ring?

The Ring of a toilet bowl maybe. :P

Yeah, that's why I love this car. If you read his blog, he talks about the mods he did to the car. Bought a Chinese turbo off of EBay for a couple hundred dollars. That and some coilovers and he's passing a vette in the tight corners on Nurburgring.

Buying an exotic sports car is probably out of my reach financially in this lifetime. However, building a Miata that will do 143 with the top down ... that might be possible. ;)

Let's see how long it stays together with that cheap turbo kit. You get what you pay for. I'd rather save up for an exotic sports car than throw parts at a cheap car. The ownership experience is way different. Performance isn't everything :)

Not sure if you noticed, but the vette was taking it easy just to film him, the vette apparently will run 7m?s laps from the youtube description. But he is definetly moving around that track.

I'd rather have a race car.

Exotic cars are annoying to own. People are stupid.

Ha! I have an exotic car with a jo-jo turbo.
