          Thanks Trevor. I appreciate it. The Fittipaldis are probably in the neighborhood of 17-18 pounds each, maybe more. Tires are 225/50/15. The Prorace2's weigh 13lbs. each with 225/45/15 RA-1's on them.

                It's been resprayed since Jason owned it or did you have an awesome detail job done to it.

                It was a well sorted car, have you run into any issues with it?

                  He just detailed it with my mad sweet orBitaL.

                  Other than being slow (more B than the car) he busted two rocker arms at our last track outing.

                  DE's are a tease.

                    I just detailed it with an orbital and three different compounds to get the shine out. The car is absolutely fantastic, The only problems I have run across so far have been the two rocker arms I broke. They needed to be replaced as well as the headbolts anyway so I didnt really mind too much. And it was fun to do! Runs great now.

                    The aspect ratio on the RA-1's are supposed to provide a slightly stiffer sidewall, but there really isnt much difference between a 225/45 or 225/50.

                        the black car sucks, it sounds like a damn bucket of bolts going down the road. I thought BMWs were luxurious?


                        by the way- nice buick, is Cathleen stalking you too now?

                          I like both, but the black one could definately benefit from a bumper tuck or plastic bumpers, IMO. Nice engine bay! Like the 5 series, too. Original interior?

                            those look pretty damn tucked to me...

                              The bumpers are mad tucked. cant go plastic bumpers, specE30 will not allow the change.

                              Yes, original interior is still in the 5er.

                                By looking at the paint it seems as though it has been recently appointed as a track rat. Congrats on the very clean car(s).
