My favorite GT car driven by Nick Ham in the Rolex Sports Car series. I have had the amazing opportunity to drive this beauty at Watkins Glen raceway in New York while i was on vacation in Jersey. My cousin has known the pit master for Speedsource for some time now and he gave me a shot to try out a few laps on track, I was given strict instructions not to go too crazy on the track and not to get close to any of the other drivers from the Grand Am who were practicing that day. This experience will never be forgotten in my life and i had the best time of my life! This without doubt was the fastest car i have ever driven and i was glad to have had this amazing opportunity. The car handled amazingly and the screaming of the exhaust was a fantastic note to my ears. I remember how fast the laps went by and had to pit before i knew it, but i will never forget what it was like to drive in a real race car on one of the finest tracks on the east coast. I had never been so happy in my life and i never knew there was so much thrill in professional racing. It was a shame that i never got that chance again but i am still glad that i was given it at least once.
I still see this car many times these days at Laguna Seca and Watkins Glen and ive always enjoyed watching it race. If im not at the track when its racing im definitely watching it on SPEED wherever it goes in america. Im planning to build an RX8 like this one very soon but im not sure to make it street legal or just for track. I am a very precise person with my cars so i wont be building it piece by piece but rather spend a couple thousand dollars to gain a lot and see my results clearly. However, since the economy is slowly breaking away i am holding back on m spendings for now. I am hopefully waiting until a new president is elected that will send us in the right direction and fix this screwed up country. Personaly i dont care who wins, i just want someone new that will do better than Bush. God Bless america, because we really need it right now.
Thank you for looking and thank you very much Speedsource!
