Anyway, beggars can't be choosers when renting a car last minute and it weren't a fun drive anyway as I was heading to Austria, for a funeral.

Re: Bobbies V.s Cops.
If I was that into the idea I would rather get a decent low miles Evo E36 M3 and you can turbo them upto 700 hp and still have change for the car and the kit out of the $16K they just want for that kit.

Re: Bobbies V.s Cops.
Theres a cheapo race series if you miss it that much and quite a few boys from Florida and Georgia etc run in it. Have to get the NASA licence (through track days) but to build the car competetively wont break you. They race nationwide but have region series.

I would've been out racing this year if Id been in the states still, had the car almost finished and ready to go..but came back to the UK instead.
As an aside. I wanted to go the turbo route with the BMW but it has taken tuners years to get around the BMW double Vanos system. Now they have...they want $16,000 for a turbo kit for an M3 E46!!!!!!!
However it will give it 512bhp on 6psi AND THATS JUST THE STAGE 1 KIT!!
Stage 2 will give 760bhp for $18,500
and stage 3 gives 1000BHP for $31,000
****ed if Im paying that much. I'll go get a fireblade or Hyabusa instead

Re: Bobbies V.s Cops.
I Agree, I put lowered coilovers and uprated sway bars and the car handles much better than it should for such a heavy car and the Brembo's help but it would be no match on the track, on the straight I would imagine mine would have the edge.
In the UK I had a 2003 Impreza that I kitted out for the track, 400bhp and track suspension, that thing was Unbeliveably FAST round a track many time s I have lapped much more expensive machinery from Germany and Italy...I miss the bends, but sadly over here there hard to come by!

My day to day driving around Tampa=no bends, whatsoever.
