Paging Turbineguy: Nom de Zoom - Exocets are Fun.

I had a passenger hop in on my final session of the 2nd day at Miata Reunion last year. He really wanted a ride in an Exocet. When we were done, he amazed by a couple of things: 1) how well it retained it’s Miata good manners and 2) the sheer amount of sensory input you get. You hear the struts working, you feel the springs, and the tire flex comes through your toes. Every RPM is heard and there’s nothing cutting you off from the experience.
