    I talked to someone with an M3 at BP the other night about this, I cant go the suggested weekend because I have my daughter.

    Maybe another time...

    You have your daughter? Did your wife/gf just give birth to a baby girl?
    I'm confused..

Not trying to get into a debate out here but just pointing out the facts.
    the sedans are lighter than thats and have less power at the crank. i know what a G sedan is and can do. and a driver and suspension has alot to do with it.

Same with an FD RX-7, an S2000 with a really good driver, a few things things have the potential to out run a MINI but mine never went head to head with any of those.

    Miata? Yeah... there are two of them in my garage, both turbo. They could keep up with the MINI and vice versa.


    Read my post. I did NOT say that I never met anything that can keep up with a MINI. That would be pretty silly to say.
    why dont you and mike come up with us. ive heard he can really drive. and i wany a piece of that turd nuget... lol jk. im sure you guys can get away for one day of the weekend.

    ive went up with the Ga lotus club and only one elise was able to out run me. the rest were behind me and falling back. im sure it has alot to do with the drive but we all are race car drivers so it matters a lot now on the driver not the car. no exige came but im pretty sure with the few extra ponies those have they will surely pull me in the mtns with no problem.

    NO i always like most of the honda guys that go up there. Last time there was a couple guys one in a black hatch and a red hatch. Both had built motors with like 300+ Horsepower and roll cages and stuff. Just really cool guys. they lived up there in the mountains somewhere though. So they knew the roads really good. They would leave us and slow way down so we could catch up and then leave us again. It was fun times though...

    ...yeah i understand....the mtn. run we had a couple of weeks ago was a blast....the crew that i went up with were all kool guys and gurl.....everybody knew there place.....alot of the guys were new (like myself).....so i stayed to the back of the pack, while the other guys did there thing......If u come to the next one in May.....i'm pretty sure it's going to be just as fun.....

    Um ok...

    Thanks. Was mostly talking to Ian and seeing if we could keep it small... Don't see how having a ton of cars meeting and rolling up together makes for it to be anymore fun. Maybe you can enlighten me?

    We'll see on the re-scheduled date. Most likely we'll join another up comming pack or i'll make a new thread. With summer action it shouldn't be hard to get a group going soon
