| That little car is pretty sporty. I got the chance to drive it to the Irwindale track from Temecula in Southern California traffic. It's a pleasure to drive. With the Bassani Exhaust it has a really pleasant tune at highway speed. At the track is where the supercharger and exhaust really shines. No one could tell that this little V-6 was not a GT. No one.
It does has a much better sound than any of the stock GT's that I saw at the track. The supercharger whine and the unique rumble of the Bassani exhaust made it stand out. I was plenty proud to stand by the car in the staging area and have the other drivers come over and check it out.
Entry fee to the track: 20 dollars
Racetrack food because you missed supper: 10 dollars
Gasoline for three passes: 15 dollars
The look on people's faces when they realize that bad ass sound and quick time was from a V-6: PRICELESS
Contrary to what one might think, the BMR lower control arms, front and rear springs, the GT shocks and the 8.8 rear end made this car hook up very nicely.
Overall, the handling (even on street tires) is very good.
