re: 6th Annual Spring 2013 Tail of the Dragon GTG - April 5,6,7
Booked my room for Thurs/ Fri/ Sat. Got a double room if someone else is going by themselves and wants to split a room let me know.
I am looking forward to getting the Crossfire on some curvy roads if I drive it down. I took it to a local road course over the summer and was surprised how well it handled it. I just put on Bridgestone S-04 Pole position tires and the thing stuck like glue. I was right on the a$$ of the AWD Subaru's in the corners. Unfortunately 215hp is a bit underpowered for the track. I was only able to hit about 110mph by the end of the back straight. At least being underpowered I was able to just downshift and mat it coming out of a corner and never had to worry about overpowering the rear. But, with no rollover protection I am not allowed to come back with it. Since I would like an unmodified dual use roadster/ track car, I will probably end up selling the Crossfire and buy a Z4.
schwarzer, i see you are from upstate SC. I was planning on visiting the BMW factory while down south and was curious, have you ever been there for a tour?
