I bought my tires for this summer planning on getting a season out of them, and I'd done 2 autocrosses at the time.

The total dollar value of the "Things I'd like to do in the next few years to the car" list exceeds what I paid for said car.

Am I doing this right?



Ya - that sounds about right to me....

Top up vs top down rocky road for me was like 10+ km/h with 300 horsepower. Figure in a miata you would gain a lot more

Autocross will be the reason why I look more and more seriously into ditching the Spec for an Abarthe...damn.
