TT3 shouldn't really be that crazy, right?

e90 = +0.4
buy a spare trunk and add wing for track days = -0.5
DCT = -0.2
run slicks: -0.75, otherwise leave it
get weight to 3600-3649 = +0.4

That puts you at 8.9 to 9.65. At 3600 lbs, that's 373 to 404 (depending on slicks). You have e90 so easy to transport wheels with track-only tires. You still have some easy weight loss possible, if desired (e.g., replacing front seats, removing rear seats, etc.). That power range is doable with a tune and basic bolt-ons.

Getting down to 3600 w/ driver would be the hardest part (depending on how much you weigh). But even at 3700 lbs you're looking at 389 whp with slicks which isn't unreasonable.

And always keeping in mind that you don't have to be RIGHT at the bleeding edge to be competitive locally.
