OG Neon said it perfectly. The only thing I would add is that the level of commitment for autocrossing is much less than tracking: cheaper, less wear and tear on the car, less dangerous, usually...

I might get 5K out of them. I already have 3K on them, and they are almost done. I would guess that 1/3 to 1/2 of those miles were in the canyons or on a track.

I like the Sport Cups, I have 315's all the way around. I like the Trofeos for the track, but they are not as streetable as the MPSC2's.

This is the point I can't get clarified--can you mix the Trofeos or not? Everyone wants to be safe and says not to mix N-spec and non N-spec. If there is no difference--only that one was tested...

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I have been looking at these at Tire Rack for a while now and this is what I saw: It seems that Pirelli changed the 305-30-19 to a Porsche spec. For a while they...

That was me. I like Matt because he is very honest in his discussion of cars. What you see in his videos is how he really is.

He does not own a GT350R by the way. He was willing to pay retail...

I would love to have one follow me down the backside of GMR, and see how good they really are. If they can do 5 miles of 6% grade at a decent pace, then they are good.

It was not an R. I think three of them were GT350's, but no R's.

And it is 5 miles of 6% grade the whole way, no flat at all. On a warm day while driving hard, my car has shut off the A/C on...

This guy was the hot shoe of the group. We did a run soon after this shot. He kept up pretty good for not knowing the road. I...

I did. I sprayed ( or squeezed, I forget) some touch up paint onto a q tip and rolled the q tip around the exposed metal edges. Let dry a while and repeat.

This really sums it up. EVERYONE who has actually driven a Z/28 will agree that it is an awesome car. It is not perfect, but for pure driving experience it cannot be beat.
