Have to throw in a British car plug here as well. With a lot of help from Ron, we made a ton of improvements to the TR8 and I took 2nd place in that race, about 1 second off the pace of the leader.

The 8 and the 260Z make decent race cars. Solid cars, hardy engines, no real quirks (although some weaknesses). Not as race friendly as newer EFI cars perhaps, but they don't mind having someone drive the piss out of them. The Jensen, while cool, not so sure on that. And I have MANY hours in that car and wanted it to race as badly as anyone but Ron.

The Z for 07 it is. The 8 we hope has a shot for a good finish in the points.
