I'll burn rubber any chance I get in this car!
The most fun, I've had in the car is when I ran 7 laps on the 2008 Goodguys OC Get-Together Air-Ride Autocross Track. Each lap getting a better time, giving a couple of chicks a ride, and not hitting a single cone, finishing with a respectable 20:360 second lap finishing 14th in my class which included a bunch of pro-mod Camaros.
