Default got to run with a Mclaren MP4-12C

Z06 wasn't ready so I took the Porsche 911TT just for some driving fun, got to do a session at the end of the day with these cars. Just the four of us on Millers west track (click the first pic to hear the Mclaren)

Cool, I was just real surprised to see the new McLaren there can't be to many around, good to see it being tracked. Jordan there is great person to do business with at JDP, I have my fingers cross he can tune the new motor in the c5 z06 Tuesday

So do you have to drive a 6-figure car there? Our local track is always clogged with Miatas.

the Porsche 911TT in the picture is mine, but I'm pretty sure it's no longer a 6-figure car It has some tuning and new turbos so it has about 550 to the wheels but stock suspension so it's pretty pushy with that much power. Hopefuly I'll get the C5 Z06 back on the track tomorrow if Jordan at JDP gets the tuning and break in done today on the dyno.

Sounds almost silent compared to the 458. Not that I wouldn't take one if someone would pony up the $300k.
