Oh..... i am rattled...

Yeah I know what you mean by the launch thing. I got outlaunched by a prelude last time out..... ouch. However, i ended up with like a 14.4 to his 16.4

Yes, I think this race will be interesting, but I hope that it's fun, and we can all meet up for cruising on other occasions.

And to the WHORES betting against the S2000.... (put me down for 5 bucks on the M as well) lol j/k.

we shall see!

Wisconsin S2k, I'll be running stock - as long as you don't bolt in a SC you're welcome to keep anything you already have installed

Hoping that you don't already has NOS


I will be switching out the dunlops that are OEM - they suck hard, I got a bad roll ofthe dice on that one, some Mcoupes came with Pilot Sports, some with dunlop 8080. I got the dunlop 8080 (go smear wesson on your tires if you want to know how well they work)

I'd like to suggest that we keep the interiors of the cars as they are stock- passenger seats and all. Though my passenger seat weighs about 85 lbs....hummmmm, no I better not


I'll have a six pack of ??????? what's your preference?

Miller (since i'm from milwaukee) or bud light.

Yeah, I am not planning on disfiguring my car to lose 50 pounds, so don't count on that. The only thing I'll have is an empty trunk. lol. My car is also stock from top to bottom.

Hey, someone bet on me, looks like I'll have to bet on me too. lol

I was fortunate enough to get the Pilot Sports, which are nice, but I'm moving to Falken Azenis after they're through.

A free six pack and all you're gonna get is that?! At least get a six of Guinness! Well, the six-pack bottles with the widgets -- they're actually very good! Just like a draft!

Has anyone seen that Best Motoring video where they had a F355 representing Italy and a M3 coupe representing Germany race some of the usual Japanese sports cars at a track. Not only did the M3 coupe come in last by a long shot, but they kept complaining how the car was too slow for the amount of horsepower it had, the chassis was "weak", etc... Just trying to thrown in a dose of reality so some BMW owners. I can gladly upload the video to a FTP if you guys want.
