Don't talk about my 330 like that!

Seriously, I realized that a 330 is not an ideal track car awhile ago. Especially since an M3 is not THAT much more from the start and the M3 is cheaper over the long run.

I got to drive a stripped E36 M3 last weekend that was really down on power and shot motor mounts. So it had no balls and shifting was quite interesting. I fully came to this realization after that.

I've got some life changes going on right now so racing will have to go on the back burner. But I will definitely do it. I may have an invite to a team when I get back to Texas...I'll take it so long as expectations are low.
