I'd agree there is some truth to this, some of the bmw guys at the sj auto-x's seem to love getting their hands dirty. Actually i dont think they ever bother washing them.

I like them also. Great dd car for sure. I would not mod it to the level I do with an Evo though.

me too. come to think of it, I don't think I've ever witnessed an evo brake at the track (not counting the drag strip), but I can recall 3 subarus (Monticello, one at an AX and another @ Pocono) giving up the ghost.

i'd love a wrx or wrx wagon as a DD with simple mods like a TBE and intake and tune.

i just love the sound of subbies.

I think the subaru def has more character. I need to try some other discussion boards that are more informative. Ill keep posting on e90 to get my rating/post count up. There are some deals to be had

part of the motivation for me having a subaru DD would be for the exhaust note. i don't know why i like it so much. when i see one on the road i like to open the window and listen to it. if i were to keep it stock, i'd just keep the corolla.

You would keep the Rolla anyways, just cause you love the sheer excitement it provides everytime you slip behind the wheel.

Interesting.. his first time with track events?

Wonder if the BMW Jersey Shore crew could ever be talked into doing the track days. That'd probably cause a lot of wrecks though and then the blaming would get out of hand.

This is f'n awesome, the Classic Car Club:

yep. he has only done 3 days so far. each time he's been moved up a run group. He started in the beginner group @ NJMP and before the end of the day he was moved to beginner-intermediate run group and solo'd! The next event, because all the intermediate drivers were complaining he was too fast, he was bumped out of there into the upper level intermediate group. that was a 2-day event and on the final day he was giving an instructor a ride along and when he came back to the pits he said he was bumped AGAIN, only this time it was to the advanced group.

He must a natural because that last day, when he was running in the advanced group, there were a lot of instructors talking about him. I overheard one of them say that they tried to keep up with him in one section but couldn't hang.

This winter he tore apart the car and did a full cage w/race seat and all the safety stuff. Makes sense since he really is driving his car at the limit. I can only imagine how fast he's going to be this year now that he's not worried about his safety.

I know of one other person who advanced that quickly and believe it or not he was in the same type of car (e36 M3 4 door). He is an instroctor now, lol. Thats why I'm really excited to see how my boy Dan does this year in his E36 M3. he is a fast learner too and was very quick in his under powered s2k.
