Bench racing? Go get a Subie!??? I'd rather destroy a pile of crap rusted out BMW than something thats actually worth anything. If I wanted something to go fast on the pavement I'd get a Miata.

Personally I don't give a **** about weight, my end goal is to have something that more closely resembles a trophy truck than a car, hell I'd stick a medium case in there if it fits. But the more I think about beefing one thing up the more I realize I would have to go through everything- divorced mounted NV149, chromo 930 CVs, d44 hubs, 5x5.5 wheels, big brakes, etc etc.

Joking aside, have you ever driven a Spec Miata with 205/50 RR's? Mid corner speed is amazing. Driven many e30's on the pavement, and I am nervous about a full tilt in t1 at Sebring, yet the first 3 laps in a Miata and thought "this thing is painfully slow", until the next lap and realized it will scrub more speed than brakes are needed. Left the foot in it, full tilt in 4th gear, no brakes and went balls in (albeit tucked tight). The stupid thing stuck like glue. Try that in a Spec e30, and you will be buried in a tire wall.
