    I call bullshit on a track car. HRE's are not permitted for use by most sanctioned events.

    What's up with the rear tag, is that a laser jammer? I can't find the transmitters on the front...

    Guess a DE car would be considered a track toy. Cross drilled rotors, big no for track. The pads used aren't very aggressive or there would be burn marks on the calipers from bits of metal and compound sticking to them. Window tint is not permitted outside of a autocross or driving event.

    I'm just over analyzing how much track use it's seen

    *edit* That's the street brake setup lol!

    Track brakes...


    Car definitely gets tracked a lot and graced the cover of the April 2009 Excellence magazine competing against GT3 and mildly build Cayman S.

    It sucks that IAB "robbed" him of $12,000 when they worked on it. I still would have filed suit even after paying the bill. They even charged him for the parts the cars owner bought himself, inflated everything including the hourly labor, then claimed they didn't have the original estimate because they save over it to save hard drive space. Luckily he had the original copy of the estimate. I would have an attorney on them the next day.

    Seems like real estate development is doing quite well in that area though :boobies:
