I don't know if any of you guys have tried autocrossing your cars yet but the Speed 6 is a really capable car in a sea of cones. My grandson used mine in the BMW CCA Street Survival School a couple of weeks ago. This is a great School and kind of hard to get into due to the limited class size and number of venues. Due to his willingness and apptiude, his instructor who is an accomplished SCCA AutoX'r turned it into a racing school for him. By the end of the day for his graduation excercise he put on quite a show for the other students and parents with me riding along.

I autocross a prep'd corvette, but I think next time I'm going to let him use my Mazda and then run in the Mazda against him. He'll probably beat me, youthfull reaction times.
Anyhoo, the front tyres are now on the back and the whole set will need replacing soon. I have 12000 miles. The weekend took about 10K off the front tires.
BTW, They have a maximum braking exercise. All day long they would revisit this box and hold the car on max boost longer and go deeper into and past the point where you were supposed to nail the brake pedal. There was a dry and a wet box. The instructor and I were AMAZED by the brakes, I think this out brakes my vette.
