Picked up this imola coupe little while back. This color spec combo with no navi rarely comes up local, price was surprisingly reasonable too. She’s 99% stock but did just fine at Lime Rock against much higher hp cars.
(Actually unsure if I want to even transfer over my coilovers from the vert because she handled so well) |

From Racerbruce in Seattle; my new handle on the "3" site is E93Seattle; congrats on your new Z4MC - beautiful; I've always admired Lime Rock with only one LH turn and a ton of RHanders....so great that you "showed the way" against larger HP machines - well done. |

it must be surreal competing at such an historic and iconic track; a little research shows built in 1956 and is the 3rd oldest continuously operating track in the US. vivid memories of watching IMSA, LMP, Can-Am and more on tv. an obvious question - what specialty suspension setups are required, or what if any adjustments are made to tire compounds is important to address 8 RH turns and 1 LH turn?? regards racerbruce aka E93Seattle |

I’m honestly the last person that should comment. My best time at Lime Rock was modest 1:03 in my n52 coupe but that car was semi-prepped for TT. I think with proper suspension, tires and pads, I could crack 1:02 in the M coupe. Seats and harness are probably good for another 0.5-1.0. To break 1 min, really need Hoosiers and aero imo. Easiest way to shave time is growing a pair and going WOT on the downhill but really hard in stock trim. Without aero, I find myself tapping the brakes more than average advanced driver on the last turn. That last corner is what separates the boys from the men imo. |

brought up additional track info and found this interesting: turn 7 "the downhill": the description online "possible tull-throttle corner for lower acceleration cars. avoid apex curb, but exit curb can be used safely". can't imagine navigating this turn WOT or also known as WFO.... really wished i would have tracked my beloved 07 z4mr in the 12.5 yrs i had her (rest her soul). the closest i got to on-track competition was 250 class motocross back when i had hair....unbelievably exhilarating....the insanity of handlebar to handlebar with 30 of us sitting on the tank and staring at the gate at WOT and then shot from a cannon and negotiating downed riders in turn 1....insane. |

Yes and no.
No, because I had a great time with the car and those memories remain with me. Not the least of which was the rather unique selling experience! Makes me want to find a way to sell you another car. Yes, because they are stupendously wonderful, undervalued cars. Plus at the moment I have no 'toy' car that is truly fun to drive. The 996 still waits for its engine, and I've got the Caterham apart to fix a bunch of leaks. It's really great to see the car still being enjoyed the way it was meant to be enjoyed. It's one of the reasons I don't think I could ever own a low mileage 'collectible' car -- I love driving them too much. |
