I'd say it took over a year of pure-stock driving before I really felt gelled with the car. And each mod has taken a new period of adjustment and learning to fall in love with the new vibe of the car. Give it time, learn to appreciate it, take it to the track and watch it come alive.

amazingness does not cope with a stock ap2 haha... no matter what is done to a ap1, you'll be lucky to be matched with a stock ap2...lol

with some basic math.. after my calculations after getting rid of the car as well as parts.. i should be expecting roughly around $24k... very tempting..

for those who already know me, can vouch that i drive the crap outta my car..... its my daily driver, weekend warrior, garage queen (whenever it makes it on my driveway). i've already taken this to the track, nothing special really... not that i dont love this car and all but honestly, my del sol performed just the same if not better... then again the fun with a RWD is priceless ...

i have this habit of always looking for something new.. and when i consider doing it all, i tend to move on.... any ideas of what to do... i was considering turbo also.. however as my DD but i rather not deal with the hassle..

did you read the info in my "keep or sell the S?!" thread? anyhow, do what you feel...

4-Door? i'd do an E60 M5 or a new S4, maybe even a 4-door 335i but only bimmer that I like are the M's but would never get that as a 4-door... all other 4-doors, whats the point if you have no kids! TSX? i only know people mainly with families and that are 50+ that drive those... thats my 2-cents haha. again, its your ride...do what you feel is rite for you.

x 10. It takes a Honda Challenge prepped Del Sol to keep up with us at the track.

comparing the car to a del sol would make me want to sell the car, please dont insult the S like that... I compare it to an e36 M
