The same happens to me at races this year at Zmax a lot of young people
looked at the car. And asking a lot of questions maybe because it has a turbo.

First thing anybody says in regards to the Turismo (well, after they say, "Hey buddy, yer tire's flat!") is a muttered, "Oh, turbo car." When I tell them it's not a Turbo, *then* they get really interested. "What?! How's it go that fast?"

Michael, I had to laugh at the "your tire is flat" comment. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that while running the Caddy and the Spirit I could have paid for the new car! It's amazing how 14 lbs. of air looks "flat" on a FWD car! Jim

Yes Michael. I love the look on their face when they ask where's the turbo, and I tell them home in the garage. LOL
