If you want to race me you're gonna have to come with something alot faster than a stock M3. I wont be driving the 430 when I race you either. Just let me know when you're out here and we can arrange something. I post a kill and now you want to race me 
I race S4s too, but not in the winter time!
BTW, if Jangy sees this link there cud b be some major trouble in MBWorld!

Yeah, they're no wide-body Carrera but the performance pack M3s especially handle good enough. If i was going FI i'd probably go the Japanese route as i just couldnt bare to tamper with my I6. i had a CSL when I lived in the UK and that's the best car ive ever driven. 360bhp from a 3.2! Not a great daily driver due to semi-slicks and smg but what a track car. Now that could hang with 996 GT3s! unfortunately that was the problem...wrote it off at Croft racetrack about 2yrs ago when an Evo VI slammed into the back of me as I braked to avoid a spun Focus RS.
Was just foolin on about the trouble, the best thing is to just move on and get back to the cars, as we have done.

...maybe it was god's way of telling me not to have flash cars in more than one country. lesson learnt. i have a focus tdci in uk now for when i go back. moving between US and UK can be a drag but I sure look 4ward to getting back to my sparkling M3 and used iS in the states nowadays

Well if you ever do change your mind about going F/I with the M3 a friend of mine is selling his barely used Active Autowerks s/c. The M3 CSL is an amazing track car. Too bad they dont sell them stateside. A good friend of mine is piecing his M3 into a CSL. So far he has the c/f interior panels, The CSL trunk, CSL headers, and CSL brakes. He also has the BBS RSGT's, I forget which exhaust and intake, and coilovers on it and a swapped out differential.

There a nice liteweight wheel. Make sure he doesn't forget the cardboard boot floor though. Now that dedication from the m-boys.
my wheels are csl-look, but not lightweight like csl originals. Shouldve shipped em over!
Havent got the scrilla to pay for an SC. Pay cash for my cars, works out in long term, adds pressure in the short! i'm no great spanner monkey either.
