Yeh these cars are built more for cruising and pulls on the motorway rather than off the line acceleration which makes it difficult. But since I started going there when this car was standard, it has been a real world way to see actual progress. All my mods are really in power at the moment and car was running 390bhp but had 0 grip so spent the majority of the track wheel spinning till I finally got grip (My full build of the car is in my signiture). I had a friend there with a Gulf R32 who had 300bhp and AWD who had me off the line massivly and halfway down the track till I could actually find grip then sailed passed. So im hoping I will have a diff and some stickier tires on the next run, and even more power to throw down ... all fun and games though! Completly agree, the new cars are impressive and very quick but there seems 0 challange or skill in anything ... just press a button for launch, foot down ... go and flip some paddles. But yeh that M3 time is really good and that Cossie, I bet all those were fun to throw down the strip! Also same here, I tend to go to tracks more and the ring ... but there is something about going to Santapod, just like returning every now and then. I got to say the F80 M3 has got to be one of the nicest cars at the moment for me, they look incredible and would love to see how one would be on track ... some day I will stop making this Volvo faster and try getting a BMW!
