INTENSE!! & quiet exhaust compared to others.

[VagaXt]

Yeah, I'm surprised how quiet my FM 3" exhaust is. Great for daily driving, for sure. I need to get a test pipe for the track and take the muffler off for the next event. ;)

[gillzisrockin]

how many tires do you guys go through in a week lol

[VagaXt]

Not many, actually. I'm on my original set of NT01 from November and since then it has been to 5 trackdays, an auto-x, and a 700-mi. road trip and still has about 1 trackday left, I'm guessing.

nice! well, I guess you win.

Dude, nice vid! I love seeing these little things passing the Boxsters, Z4s and Elises. Quintessential underdog track toy. You've got me looking at Mazdaspeed Mx5s a little differently.

Fantastic video! Great to see these cars being used up to and beyond their limits and how brilliant they are at it. Great driving plays a part too, of course!

Wow nice handling car!

[boobmcnutt]

That's freaking crazy stuff. Liked your turn at 2:20 btw.

[dumkopf]

My god, Sonny, that was INSANE! Your car just goes where you point it. It sticks like glue. I was on the edge of my seat.

Sav....looks like you need to upgrade you brake line too!

[DoubleO86]

You should have shouted "Nemesis!" before the off and "Ah ha ha ha!" after.
