Default definitely faster than the A4. there were a bunch of S2000 guys next to me at Summit Point in Sept.

at the Redline Time Attack, which the guy next to me won RWD Modified and the car basically had a harness bar, rear wing and RA1s along with track pads. He was running about 7 seconds faster than my A4, but 2 of that is tires and 1-2 is driver who is willing to drive it 10-10ths (I was not), but that still leaves it 4 seconds faster car v car.

Default more power to you!

I'll be the first to admit that a BMW with few mods will make a better track car than an Audi with the same few mods. It's just the nature of the beast...50/50 weight ratio goes a LONG way. Building a well balanced audi track car can obviously be done, but it just takes a lot more work than a BMW.

Good luck with the M3...it looks great!

Default ...

There is a white E30 coupe for sale near my house... I think it is an 325IS or ES as it has the decklid spoiler and the deeper front valance. If it didn't have what I think is a rust spot on the R quarter panel before the wheel (near jack point) I might consider buying it for cheap. Problem is I know fvck all about BMW products and I've already got a track toy with ECM problems... no place to park means it has to stay outside in condoland.
