Agreed, & that's why the Elise is really a track junkie's dream. Now, if you have to drive to work & back everyday, a BMW might be a preferable choice....... Furthermore, the Elise is available with a sport package that adds, I think, coilovers (or at very least much more aggressive shocks & springs), bigger wheels, tires & brakes. Last time I checked, the Elise was around 2000 or 2100lbs. The E46 M3 is 3400lbs+ & that's a lot. > > Brian > '94 325ic Lee ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 22:58:25 -0500 From: "Jack - Elephant Motorsports Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: Re: FS: CM race car and Ford F350 tow vehicle Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2005 20:58:30 -0500 From: "KMS- Brett Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "UUC Digest" <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: Re: FS: CM race car and Ford F350 tow vehicle Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey Jack, Why not just keep it in your damn pants?

Sorry I couldn't get Paul a unit for anywhere > near what they go for on ebay (and im a clarion dealer) I just picked up a new DXZ535 on ebay for $145 shipping included. The DXZ545 that replaced it in the line up doesn't have the color change feature, you now have to spend about $100 more for the 645 to get it. The 545 display is blue and would stick out like a sore thumb on a BMW dash. The DXZ535 doesn't support MP3s, but that's not especially important to me. It does support CDR, CDRW and Sirius satellite radio.

I didn't know it until about a year ago, but the original purpose of Roebling Road in the 50's was to train law enforcement officials. All of the turns on the course are designed to upset the balance of the car in some way or another, and all are designed to somehow replicate actual high-speed turns they might see in the real world. Of course, it's this tendency to upset cars now that makes the track so fun & technical.....
