Think they waited too long though as not sure the company will be around another year if they don't find an investor (new owner).
We are racing the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 this year and that engine is a monster. Crazy how they have the exhaust ports and turbos on the top of the head where conventional V8 engine have the intake ports and the intake ports are on the side where the convention V8 engines have the exhaust ports. Makes sense keeping the heat away from the intake but it is always like the Cheshire Cat is smiling at me when I think about it.

On a solid note, we are supposed to test next week at VIR as long as Gov. Northam approves it. Race is scheduled for June 4-7. Fingers crossed.

I really like the X5M! But, I am so shy to high performance BMW’s after what I’ve gone through with my E53. I swear the moment you want to get all the ponies going, it’s a trip to the pit soon after.

Leasing is where I am at now. Something goes wrong it’s on them. The thing is if I lease a high performance BMW, I know I am going to want to slap on an exhaust. That is a lease no no.
