I see where you're coming from, but you do know BMWs are top end cars, as are most every other European sports car. Thus, it's way more appropriate to start at 50+mph than at 0 mph. It's much less stress on the car. At the strip (8th mile), you cut the car off right when it begins to shine - thus it's high trap speeds and sucky ETs. On the highway, you start where it shines and carry it out. I'm not trying to argue one is better than the other, but I'm just not up for going from a dig in a BMW, generally.

A road course is harder on the car's brakes, tires, etc. But less things are prone to 'snap' if you're moving vs. stopped then abruptly moving. All those things are wear out items. Axles, trannys, etc., aren't necessarily things you want to keep going through.

I may go to one of the BMW track days at some point, but right now I don't have the time. So until then, this car is just my weekend toy for the backroads.

 

luv them lancers

 

Anybody down for pullin a tranny tonight?I still havent been motivated enough to get my truck out of the garage and get my car in there and tear it down....i know i know,im a lazy bastard

 

I can't help. But I'll tell you this pulling the tranny out of a srt is a shit load esier then a GSX. The clutch is a diffrent story though....

 

I'd come help Casey, but I'd be pretty much useless... I don't want to get dirty tonight

Why don't you just sit back and let Kara do it? lol

 

Moooooo har har.

 

Are you in Richmond or Roanoke?

 

It shouldnt be too hard or take to long,ive heard its about the same as pulling the tranny on a Honda...Ive had my share of that lol.

What a sissy,i didnt touch it at all last night lol.She would help if i needed her too,shes not scared to get dirty.

 

Didn't say I'm scared to get dirty... Said I didn't want to

 

Ahh ok,well im thinkin a 12 pack,a couple of hours and she should be out.lol
