Has everybody seen this? http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/classifieds/1196/
Someone really ought to buy it. Super cool car at a very reasonable price. It seems like a more interesting alternative to an E30 M3, with comparable performance, and a cheaper buy-in, (not sure about parts availability/cost, though...)
Oh man...
You know, the trouble with the GRM classifieds is that there is too much nice stuff in there.
A friend of mine had one of those. It was stripped down for weight savings with coilovers, sticky tires and a racy sounding exhaust, but it still had the self leveling rear suspension. He tossed me the keys and let me flog it for a while.
I was totally unimpressed
I gave him the keys to my E30 325is and let him beat on it and he agreed the 6cyl BMW was the better car.
He was sure his was in excellent running condition it just didnt make enough torque down low for throttle assisted oversteer and felt heavy and sluggish. I am sure it would have walked away from my car in the upper rev range though.
All I know is that I unchecked that paticular box on my "Must Haves" list.
