How was the car doing when you gave it back, still good as new or starting to show some wear?


Check out the second page for my final send off review for the car.

Hot? What am I missing?

Do we know the owner didnt just buy the one with the most bling?

Seems its available with MT, so assuming that's the only option, the owner must know something about what theyre doing...


Stop looking at numbers and drive one?


This ^^^ The power is easily and safely booster with a Cobb acess port and tune add E30 tune and it rips . 2 k aftermarket turbo and it's a serious performer.

Plus, it weighs little to begin with, and is not too hard to pull even more weight out of it, as I have done.
Get it down below 2500 lbs., and even with only factory power levels it starts challenging all but the M bimmerz, even in a straight line (it can already show most Bayerisches the quick way around a twistier road course, even given equal drivers, DESPITE being the 'dreaded' FWD.

).

Add power up to 300+ to the wheels (along with sticky tires and a Torsen style limited slip), and it starts totally embarrassing snooty status rides costing 5+ times as much, performance wise.
