(continued)

Is it white with number "53" on the doors and hood?

Nice guesses, but nobody's hit it yet. I'll give you 2 hints:

1)    It's street legal (has to be, since I'm driving it back from  

Toronto)

2)    It's NOT a Ferrari.

Yep. That's my vote.

My guess is a 355 challenge car.

Speaking of track cars, I actually just committed to buying a track  

car

today.

Steve Cook and I will be flying into Toronto on Monday June 21st to  

pick

it
up, and drive it back to Seattle.

Any guesses as to what it is? J (if you're one of the few who already
knows,
no fair giving it away - let's see some guesses first).

IMHO part of the point is to explore the limits.

And, all other things being equal, less is more as far as traction
control,

etc. (but ABS would be fine, thank you), so that, in p-car land,  

there's

more appeal to a GT3 than a turbo, for example.

Considering the GTO project AND the 599 XX programs, I'd say we're  

all

grossly underestimating the handling characteristics of this car:

http://www.ferrari.com/English/News/GT/Pages/100423_CAR_ferrari_599XX_record

_nurburgring.aspx

I'm of the opinion that Ferrari actually made some 'adjustments'  

after

they

concluded the 550/575 production - those cars sucked on the track,  

and

owners weren't shy about saying so at the time.  I agree that the
HorsePower

war is still going strong, and machines are being designed/built/ 

sold to

the
general public that most of their owners cannot possibly utilize to
anywhere

near their full potential, safely, on our streets or on most race- 

tracks.

So what?  I would love to track a 599 - the car's capabilities far- 

exceeds

my driving ability to find, let alone explore, the car's traction or

cornering limits, so I would expect that it would be extremely  

difficult

for

a driver like me to 'get into trouble' and bend something  

expensive.  But

that's just how my mind works.

I'm very interested in what you think would be the best ones for  

track

use?

I know that there are several listers, and of course other owners,  

who

have
tracked their 512TRs, but that has little or no appeal for me (except

insofar as I could hear the engine wail at some place like the  

Glen.)  My

track car (and daily driver) is a 993, which I think is just right  

for me,

but I've been curious about red alternatives.

My guess is 3 series all the way....

And even if most can swing a 360 or 430 , they might be hesitant to  

track

it
I think. A shame, but totally understandable.

308 gt/4 would be cheap and fun....my pick. IMy next step up would  

be 348.
