Buddy of mine just got an 04 CTS-V, he also has 3 miata's. And my roommate (who used to have a turbo miata) currently has an 03 cobra with bolt-on's, cool carz you've had.

I was going to Turbocharge the TL, but by the time I am done with getting all the parts together and a good tune, I am at minimum of 12-15k+ in just basic parts and labor alone. Pricing out NEW parts for the Miata for a turbo setup has me around 4000, plus the 3k I paid for the car, it's a no brainer. I mean yeah it could be questionable, but the Miata's drive wheels are already at the correct end of the car! |
Welcome smbstyle!
My first track day ever saw a CTS-V total into the wall coming out of the hairpin onto the front straight of PIR on the second lap of the final session. I didn't see the crash myself, but the track was wet and I think he simply got loose under power and lost it. Saying "the track was wet" doesn't really do it justice; there was practically standing water around the track. I personally was going to call it after the first lap since the spray from any vehicle in front of you made the visibility zero, and I was uncomfortable. But then we got black-flagged due to the crash. I have a Rotrex and think it's a good choice for track duty. Looking forward to your upgrades. |
