Most challenging racing series I was into was spec Miata. There were some ridiculous drivers and its was all about momentum. When I first started I couldn’t believe the speed dome of those guys carried through a turn.

I’ve tossed the idea of a Miata or even an Exocet around but this isn’t going to be a race car or even a dedicated track car. I want something to scratch my sports car and Germanophile itch that I can drive to work on nice days and blast through the mountains
But man, this looks like a ton of fun as well
I stopped road racing because I got tired of spending all my time and all my money on it.
That and my hands got slower as I got older and thats not good in a car that's always trying to kill ya.
Same reasons I gave up the cycle racing. When reaction times went over 120, death got a lot closer.
Problem is the E30 M3's are regularly fetching 6 figures these days. That puts them solidly into "too valuable to drive" category. No need to feel guilty about beating on a Cayman.
They do sound great though, even though I've got a weird hangup about BMW's with anything less than 6 cylinders in a straight line.
First minute of this video has some beautiful ITB music.
Getting a regular E30 and swapping some M3 bits crossed my mind and is still a possibility. I’d need our next house to have a much bigger garage or a real shop to do that though
For sure, if a guy wants an old BMW to drive hard and modify he's way better off starting with a non M car.
And as good as the M3's M10 sounds with ITB's, the M20 sounds even better, so there's that. Not to mention the underhood bling factor.
I miss my old E30. If I knew then what I know now I never would have sold it. Great drivers cars.
The gen x one was me early in my kids life. Now I’m like the last one. My presence in the room changes attitudes.
That'll look funny on an X ray. Somebody's gonna shove it up their ass.
You affirm to she who must be obeyed that you are, in fact, her bitch.
Well science says you wouldn’t. Can’t get any bigger than the container would allow
Think I’ll pass on $7 ass
