yea.... but u cant always purchase time on a track learning real car control. Once a month or so, if u have the time. 300 + game, 1 time purchase. Then take that and test it on the track. U cant crash ur real car all the time and u also cant afford all the fuel, all the time

actually in 2007 I was on track around 150 days, its not hard to get on track, its a little hard to pay for it. If you have a truck and trailer there is a way to be on track in the southeast almost everyday.

my car isn't track worthy right now. and i don't have the disposable income to be burning through gas and tires like i would if i were tracking my car. and IF i were to wreck it i'm fucked cause it's my daily driver. a ps3 is, agreed, not as good as being on a real track in your own car, but it's also in the long run cheaper, and safer. believe me once i start making some more money and buy a dd my Z will see the track a LOT more.

NASCAR is for girls it takes no skill at all. So is drag racing, push gas, shift (unless in a top fuel car), then let off. Exciting. :screwy:

At my very first track event when I was sixteen I passed a Z06 at Road Atlanta in an ITC Civic, needless to say I got obliterated when the next straight away came...but that's horrible. I can't say how many times I've raped MUCH faster cars and if the driver had been good there would of been no way I could of given them even a slight chase.

It's a blast to go to track days and watch macho men in their shiny expensive fast cars get killed by some backyard ghetto tuner in a ragged out Miata. Or watch macho men crash their fast cars because they have no skill whatsoever. :ninja:

the state doesnt want these people to go fast.. they make laws to keep them from doing it.. why would the state give someone a license for no reason? speed limits will not be changed just because someone in a porsche or vette can drive it to it's limits.

You actually can buy driving skills.

-Ant.

I feel that I'm a good driver. Both on public roads, and at the track.:2cents:

The state wants people to speed to generate revenue. Don't kid yourself the Super Speeder law was created so cops could generate more revenue.
