    14x6.5 weaves?

    As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
    You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

        Given that the M3's are on street tires and less prepped of course.

        DE's are a tease.

            E46 M3 on 275 r-comps and Ground controls

            E36 m3 on 255 r-comps and some sort of coilover (bilstein?)

            I just know the track, and don't slow down much (ride the curbs where appropriate)

            It also really really really helps that the course I normally go out on has very little straights, so the power of the M's isn't as apparant. Big tracks like mosport are murder for E30's.

                what kind of tires do they run? I passed an E60 M5 a few times at my last event. I was on 225 hoosiers, he was on street tires...

                Put some slicks on it and I'm sure I would be destroyed.

                    Well, I was keeping up with an E46 M3 on street tires while on 195/60R14 RT-215's.

                        I can get a set of half-tread Kumho Ecsta 205/50/15's for free from a friend.

                        Are they worth mounting?
