Who likes a fun mystery to solve?
So I recently purchased this 12k mile, 1 owner, bone stock 03 Cobra from TN a few weeks ago. Overall the car is great, original owner drove it daily for a few years, then became ill, it got parked, the owner passed away, then his son held onto it in his...

Cleaning out the garage and I found this stuff, so it is free to a good home. Must come pick up (I'm all over the Tampa area during the week so I can usually meet you anywhere). First come first serve!
03/04 Cobra lower Pulley (unk manufacturer) - Black, good condition, unknown boost level (I...
So this past weekend I had the chance to ride shotgun with Pro driver L.P. Dumoulin, who came in 2nd for GTC class last year at the 12 Hours of Sebring in a GT3 cup car. The car is a World Challenge spec Porsche GT3 Cup, specs are 450hp and 2,900lbs, but the specs do not do this car justice. It...
So I got a once in a lifetime opportunity for us mere mortals to ride shotgun in a World Challenge spec Porsche GT3 Cup car around Sebring for 45 minutes with Pro driver L.P. Dumoulin at the wheel, who came in 2nd place with Alex Job Racing at the 2012 12 Hours of Sebring in GTC.
It was such...
So I went down to Sebring on Friday afternoon for a DE that weekend, and when I got there I saw a lone silver 2013+ bodied Mustang alone running the long course (3.7 mile full track used in the 12 Hour race).
The car itself was silver, had the Boss 302 front grille, black tape around the...
Well I've got the itch for something new, so I'm putting it up for sale.
Looking to sell the car straight out or trade for a 1.8 Miata with all the creature comforts still, either stock or with track mods (rollbar, wheels/tires, suspension, etc.) Just need something I can drive around town...
Selling my Sparco Evo 2 Plus racing seat WITH the Sparco side mounts and hardware. This seat is NOT FIA rated, and is a Sparco Grey Market seat that I purchased brand new from Breathless Performance in Dania Beach, FL about 4 months ago. Would make a good autoX/street seat, or you will need a...
Wow, what a blast. If any of you have the coin to drop on a racing school, do it (obviously since it's not my money). Luckily, I won a contest and got to go for free. I did the 3 day grand prix road racing course. The school is out in Chandler, AZ, a little south of Phoenix. From day 1 we were...
I went over to Daytona on Saturday and stayed until late Sat. night, then caught the rest of the race on TV today. For anyone that hasn't been, and if you are within driving distance of the track, it's an absolute blast.
I recently picked up a Canon T2i with a 55-250mm lens. This is my first...
This was my first time out with my 1990 1.6 Miata, stock drivetrain with 160k on it, koni shocks, FM springs, 15x8 6UL wheels with 225 Hankook RS3s, gutted interior with seats/harnesses/6pt cage, and a few other odds and ends. This was my 4th DE overall, and just got solo qualified earlier in...
Some of you may remember my last Facebook “like” contest that you all helped me win a set of race pads from Performance Friction… well, they’re running another contest, and I’m hoping to have you all help me again!
UPDATE: 10/25:
I WON!!! WOHOO!!!
I'll be drawing a name out of the...
After input from people on here, along with a few other forums I'm on, on buying a cheap track car to beat up on, and something that you can actually "learn" to drive with, I posted a feeler ad for the CTS-V last week to stir up some interest, and had a buyer within a day.
I searched...
Willing to sell harnesses together ($400) or seperate ($300/$100). Plus shipping. I paid $570 for them brand new from HMS Motorsport only 3 months ago, and they were used for one track day with my CTS-V.
First harness is the standard Rallye 4 ASM, black with black letters. $100.

I am selling my 2004 CTS-V, the car currently has 61k miles. Purchased from Coast Cadillac in Sarasota in June of 2010 with 51k miles, bone stock. The original owner purchased the vehicle from Coast Cadillac in 2004 as well. The original owner is a heart doctor in the Bradenton area, not some...
I figured you all would enjoy some videos from this past weekend at Sebring. Ran w/ Chin Motorsports both days.

I just got back from a two day event at Sebring Int'l Raceway, had a blast as always. I got some good video of me chasing a GTR, running down a GT500 and a 997 GT3.
My car is a 2004 CTS-V. Motor is stock; has a muffler delete, shifter, springs and swaybars, PFC 2 piece rotors, PFC 01 pads...
I went out on an empty backroad to bed in the Performance Friction 01 compound race pads onto the Performance Friction 2 piece rotors. Decided to hook up the GoPro to see how good I was heating up the rotors and pads... I'd say I got them up to temp!!

Well I threw my PFC 01 compound pads on a few days before Daytona, and drove on them and drove to the event on them to clean off street pad material transfer off of the face of the rotor. BUT, being an idiot, I didnt properly bed them in properly on my first few laps at Daytona, and immediately...
Central Florida Region SCCA put on their first PDX event at Daytona, and they did an incredible job. First the price was too good not to sign up, $90 for the day (4 - 20 min sessions). I think the best part of it was almost everyone there got a nice big garage space in the Nationwide series...
After my last track event with the oil temp alarm coming on with oil temps approaching 300*F, I decided an oil cooler was a must for this car. GM must have known this car would have oil temp issues because there is a in/out oil port built into the side of the block, right above the oil plate...
I won a contest last week on Facebook for a free set of Performance Friction pads and I went with the 01 compound pads for the front and rear. When the PFC rep called me to get some info on the car, I told him I was also interested in a set of rotors since my stockers are shot. He informed me...
