Re: 918 latest news
Carlos from Spain:Whoopsy:So right now I am looking at perhaps Miatas, or Alfa 4Cs to run in the slow group.
For reference, Radicals are the fastest on track, they hold the record at 1:58 from a SR8, and the SR3s are lapping in the high singles.
If I were in your predicament I would be looking at something low on HP but very very light and very simple mechanically and raw with no electronic aids at all, since that would let you run with the slow group but give you a challenge at the wheel and another aspect of car handling and dynamics that you don't get with the fast modern cars... maybe a track prepped classic sportscar, like a 964 with everything removed that is not necessary for the track for lightweight, track suspensions, wheels/tires, etc...
Mazda MX5 would be a cheap car to play around with on the track. 155 HP/148 torque, but only weighs 2300lbs. It's available with limited slip diff and 6 speed manual. Easy to drive at it's limit, too.
