Cal Posted 2February, 2016 Report Share Posted 2February, 2016 1995 Maserati 222 4v. One of three in Australia and the only red one. 1995 Mazda MX5. Build into Prodsports 2F race car. Raced at most circuits on the east coast including Bathurst twice. Won the Qld championship outright twice. Is now just a very rapid street car and does the odd sprint. Been fortunate enough to race other people's cars since it's 2010 retirement. 1971 Morris Mini 1100K. Bought it in 1992 as my first car and could never part with it. Currently undergoing the worlds longest restoration. This photo taken in about 1994.1990 Mercedes 300TE - My daily. I love this car.1990 Mercedes 230E - Wife's daily.

DJM Posted 3February, 2016 Report Share Posted 3February, 2016 240hp 9300rpm and about 620kg = 0-100 in 4.0s. It made a great noise too. It ran into an aero wall at about 220 km/h but that felt like 400 sitting in a bathtub. Exciting.....fear of certain death made me sell it.

Snowman Posted 8February, 2016 Report Share Posted 8February, 2016 I got mine from the local agent in QLD and I'd definitely use them again.I'll see how 6hr goes at Easter and reassess after that. I can't afford 2 race cars so really I'll either want to keep the EVO for another run at 6hr in 2017 or else I'll look at getting back into a Ginetta for the Winton / Wakefield 300's. They only cost around $60-70K (2nd hand) and have a $3K standard motor from a Mazda CX9 in them. They were very low cost to maintain and a lot of fun to drive.

Snowman Posted 8February, 2016 Report Share Posted 8February, 2016 any reason why you didn't like the radical? Honestly - as hard as it is to admit I couldn't handle the physicality of the constant high G levels. Turn 1 at Phillip Island was 100% flat at around 240km/hr with G loads around 3. And there were 9 other corners per lap over 2.5G's. I always found each weekend I would set my fastest lap times in Practice 1 and over the weekend I would get slower and slower as I was worn down by it. But it wasn't a fitness thing - I just didn't enjoy that level of G's where I couldn't move my head 1mm even if I wanted to, and so I'd slowly start to reduce the forces exerted on me as the weekends would go on. Up to 2G's I'm fine (which is about what the Ginetta will do) - but over that I just don't enjoy it. It's the same as I don't really enjoy Go Karts for the same reason.
