To be under 2 you've got to have at least a basic understanding of performance driving (or a really fast car)

'84 323 coupe with 2.5 M20, stripped, caged, buckets, KW coilovers, 225/50/15 R888's. Stock brakes with Pagid RS29, 160bhp at the time, before it blew up. No passenger.

Same '84 323 now with S50b32, E36M3 brakes front and rear, some crap pads, 235/40/17 V700 kuhmos. 270 bhp, with passenger.
