Went for a rip
Went and meet up with Bob aka TopHatPlus this afternoon and had a blast driving back roads with him. His V8 is a beast, he let me drive it and
I must say i would get into a lot of trouble if i went for the V8. His is a 2SS A8 with NPP exhaust. He was very interested in our Turbo cars as well. He and I did some spirited driving and he admitted to me he was having trouble keeping up in the twistys. In the straights he would pull hard if he was in front but I was able to keep up and never lost sight of him. I was working hard and no-lift shifting every gear. We were both on winter tires so there was some hesitation in corners for both of us but for the most part we were going all out. He clocked .87 g on a corner he told me. I didnt have my g reader on and wish I had. Look for TopHatPlus latest video to come out soon on Youtube. He will publish a video he took of when he was chasing me. I hope it gives our I4 Turbo some more respect in the V8 community. Here are a few pics I took.

Awesome stuff! Every engine option for this car is a solid choice. I test drove both the I4 and V6 and enjoyed both quite a bit. Looking forward to the video!

UPDATE: his GoPro did not record the fun on weekend after all. We're going to try for another one this coming weekend.
