      that 190e sounds amazing (maybe even better than the M3).

      I'd love to have one for the street, but no question the M3 for the track.

        I would not want the US Spec 190e. But I would take the 190e Evo I or II

        Evo II:

          i love my 2.3-16! I just picked one up for $1500 that runs and drives :D obviously a little rough around the edges but yeah... I made a project thread with it and will be doing slow but steady updates.

          i love the merc and m3 equally. both epic cars with an amazing motor sport pedigree. i can't wait till my m3 is running so i can do my own comparisons.

            a buddy of mine is planning on selling his 190e cosworth with 46,xxx original miles with dogleg transmission. Car is located in North NJ, I think hes looking to get 8 or 9K, if anyone is interested hit me up and ill pass on the info. Once i get more info i think he'll have me do a FS thread.
            Had a smooth purchase transaction with me?

              Is that Sean's car your talking about? I've seen that car and it's very clean. Good price for such a low-mileage example in which everything works.

              I'm looking to buy Sean's Pug Mi16. He's got some cool cars and he takes good care of them.

                          We just spent 2 weeks on the island of Crete. Rented a 308 hatch. Pugs are the greatest cars for crazy mountain roads like that. They have a very supple/compliant suspension, but somehow still have sharp turn-in and crisp, neutral handling. I don't know how they do it, but it's magic. Love Pugs!

                              That video leaves you quite torn between two nostalgic, powerful cars. I have tons of love for the 190e 2.3, as i've been behind the wheel of one. I just don't think it compares to the aggressive, track ready feel of the m3. Very informative video though, kept me glued in the whole time.
