the factory caught on fire, accelerating the transition to the NC. I'll write more later, but my well-modded NC is prob my favorite car I've ever owned, and the list includes a Supra Turbo, 2 S2000s, Cayman S, and E90 M3 (which I still own). At my local track, it hung w/ a S/c'd S2000 w/ 2x the power and R compounds, and left a stock S2000 CR in the dust. It ranks right w the CS and a similarly modded NC as the 3 best handling cars I've ever driven.
