We missed each other by a week - I was at Mid-Ohio this weekend with the BMW CCA. Here's some Youtube of my little M42 chasing down a Nissan GTR. It sure was satisfying to keep popping up in his rear-view mirror lol.

Here's a pic of the car:

This car has cost me about $3000 - $400 for the car (yes, with the paint in that condition!) and the rest for Ground Control coilovers/camber plates, tires, seats, roll bar, and harnesses. The engine has 263,000 km on it.

The black Viper with silver stripes was my good friend Luke. He was there 2 weeks in a row. :lol:

I had a couple buddies with me, GT-R, GT3 RS, TT RS, Viper, Z06, ... I couldn't stay on the same lap with them on the straights. Through the curves however...

and my $750 BMW...:lol:

This Spring I'm looking for an Exige more than likely. Love my little car but I need something with a bit more power...coming from a CTS-V, M5, and daily drive a Jeep SRT8.

a good tune up will help then chip, suspension and you'll have yourself a fun little car.

Right now I've got H&R race springs and HP+ pads and Brembo rotors all around and it's a blast to drive really. But I'm afraid I'll never have the power to get what I want out of this car unless I do a serious swap or chance a turbo upgrade.
