Nice work! I would have just run full out on the second run and gone straight for the track exit

Default alright, I agree - but hell, 99% of DD S4's drive their to and from the track... I just think it's

a nice way to show how reliable the car is. If something ever goes wrong, (at least at the track I go to) there are always flat bed within a mile or two...conveniently located lol

Not trying to take anything away from piggie, this is an awesome acheivement :-)

Default Not worth my time, but I'll donate my opinion to the cause.

I've trailored other cars to different events. It's a nice feeling to have that if something happens, your not stuck or paying for a tow or other.

It's also nice to be able to prep the car and not worry about any of that when your at the strip. Unload car and it's ready,

I don't hold trailering the car to an event against anyone.

Now if the car is not street legal and you must trailer, that's different then choosing too.

Car is doing well..

Default VAST GT car clearly is "a street driven car [that] is...able to drive to the track and back home."

Piggie drives the car predominantly on the street. This is actually the first time it has been driven anywhere but the street since being in GT trim. The only reason it was trailored was as a precaution in case something broke while at the strip, not because the car was not capable of being driven to or from the strip. The car is fully registered in the state of MI.
