Makes sense. The gti has never been a car that can withstand constant tracking very well. I wonder how the PP would do with the bigger brakes and LSD, though. I'm sure the fiST would still be more fun, but at least the car should withstand the abuse better.
I'm pretty sure every "track" review of the FiST is either done on very cool day, is based on two laps at <6/10ths, or is done in car with ringer cooling. My FiST overheated about 12 minutes into a (hot) track day with the heater on full blast. It overheated going up a hill at 90 with the air conditioner on in 100 degree heat. Those were demanding circumstances, but my GTI and Evo both faired much better in the same situations with OEM cooling.
Otherwise, I love the crap out of that car. I can't wait to love it longer and harder with a better radiator and intercooler.
ATS doesn't have enough power, when I'm looking at 400hp choices. And I don't like the GM infotainment systems at all. Dodge is king of the touchscreen right now.
Having not been on the forum in a long while, my absurdity tolerance is very low, and plac is auto forum sizzurp. I'm metaphorically hammered right now.
JCW GP is friggin awesome. I was about to post some of the 50 pics I took of it at the '12 LA Auto Show if the sandbagging continued.
And, to me, that Corvair is one of the coolest cars of all time. Does the '64 have a front sway bar? Ralph Nader says your dad needs a sway bar or he'll explode. OK. I'm caught up.
