I know many on this forum head to the track on a regular basis, but what about DDing? I live in Germany, where I'm fortunate enough to hit speeds in excess of 160mph, but I'm seriously considering selling my M3 when I return to the States, as I'll never be able to enjoy this DDing fun. Sure I can head to the track, but it's always fun to legally push the limits on the Autobahn on a daily basis.
Just a thought.

Even 414hp is too much in a DD. The problem is different at the track. Sure 650hp is great, but now you need massive tires, big brakes, and you'll go through them really quickly.. Makes tracking exponentially expensive.
