    umm sorry but if its was a "BUILT AUTOFAB" car, Thomas could take his slow BMW and staight hand you your ass in the twisties... he does Touring Racing and runs at ROAD ATLANTA. And what mountains are you going to be using a 6 speed anyway?

    I thought we already estalished that it was NOT that car. And as far as my Spec V goes, I do not win 'em all, but it's not your grandma's Spec V. Check the sig and then check the link... www.seriouscustoms.com/sunbeltprogress

    When you say Mountain Run I assume you are running both down AND uphill (at least that's how we played in Colorado) and then average the times... there are many ways to do a mountain run though I guess. I DO know that the Spec V in stock form is one of the fastest autox cars available (in it's class), it loves to turn... which doesn't make sense if you take note that it's a SEDAN w/ only a 99in wheelbase --> what's even MORE daunting is the solid rear axle.

    well i never said it was your spec V... were discussing the stock spec V vs. the Red BMW, but since you have a built one... i'm sure i could get Thomas to bring out his black touring car to take that challenge in the mountains. I know he is making less power than what is in your sig, but it still won't be a problem.

    i don't know any nissans that are winning touring races, nor is nissan even in the top makes for touring racing. nice motor
