So what class will Anders be running in? We've lost Chad and Austin in CAM since they've sold their respective Camaros. I think right now it's George, Stephen and myself. Or is he going to play in FS w/ Art?


It's got mods so his only option would be CAM I think to be competitive.

I heard he was going to AutoX the Miata this year though from Mike.

Oh, Anders bought your 'stang? Very cool. So what are you hunting for now? New GT350?

No clue. Rules aren't my thing. You'll have to ask Anders, plus I don't know what changes he's got in mind for the car.

Remember that the RX-8 is a 4-door sedan.

The backseat of any 2005+ Mustang is like the back seat of a 911. Suitable for children or luggage.


I have to find a Camaro and look at the back seats in one of those. That, or wait until a used Chevy SS goes into affordable range.

The Challenger has a backseat that is acceptable for an average adult. Rodney won't fit though.

lol.... there's very few backseats that I fit into. Certainly don't fit in the back of the stang and I have issues w/ this 5 series I just bought while sitting in the back seat. Fortunately I don't have to drive from the back seat...

Rules aren't your thing? With your job? Good thing you didn't tell me that when I was your boss. :lol:

An average size adult doesn't fit well in a backseat of a Camaro. It usable for short distances, but both the driver/passenger will be uncomfortable possibly to even squeeze somebody in the back.

I think you meant to say "An average size adult doesn't fit well in a front seat of a Camaro."
