Take it to a real track like PIR.

Since Colorado actually gets all four seasons I'm looking at something turbocharged and AWD. The two main contenders are an Audi TT RS and a 997.1 Turbo. Given the warranty and 15k price difference, I'm favoring the Audi at the moment.

Since you had inspired me to get a Lotus, you should follow my lead now and try a GTR. Drive a 2012+. It's not for everyone, but it's a bundle of giggles.

The lack of a third pedal put the car out of contention. I'm sure it's a barrel of laughs but I feel like my enthusiasm for cars would slowly die if my only car was an auto of any sort. I briefly considered one but I read a few posts about how they hold up on the track and it seems the entire drivetrain and brakes overheat during 20-25 minute DE sessions at normal ambient temperatures.

Your Lotus had the toe link failure, right? That may have been what sent my car to the grave but the scary thing is I had the aftermarket Sector111 kit. Glad to hear you've kept up the insanity with a GT-R though.

Yeah, toe link popped right the hell off. I had actually put the S111 kit on after it broke before I sold it to the new owner. Scary.

I get the hesitation about a manual, but after 16 years of owning nothing but sticks I haven't missed it one bit with the auto in the GTR. I haven't heard about overheating issues besides from the brake which is fixed pretty easily. I've had my car out for 30+ minutes at a time for lap days with no issues.
