STI PPP's are quick as feck... But a bit too fat for a track car

PPP is just a factroy/dealer add-on performance pack... You get classic PPP'd cars as well.

I know mate... But the Prodrive Performance Package does make a difference! I'm sure Brett's one had that and that made good power!

I want a type R or RA
I'm not really fussed on the 2 dr or 4dr aspect....I think that's only really a concern for a road car
The Type R is obviously stiffer, being a 2 dr, but we'd have a cage in it so that would stiffen it up anyway
Holding price as well is always different in a track based car as well....a ragged type R with a few dings isn't going to get a huge amount more than a ragged RA

I'm quite surprised by the price of the TypeRs now too.....we got a really good price for ours I think
It was the best one around though

I think it would be a good car to compete with the skyline...and thats the real reason you want another car....to race each other....so there's no point in getting a 205 or a 306 or a fiesta cos you'll always be slower

The M3 has been on PH for ages. The Rallye is a guy called warrior on Rallye register, the guy is actually only about 17/18 but really keen on track days. The sale is genuine IIRC. Would be good fun but I would have an M3 over it.

na, yellow I think.

Is it Andrew Winchesters from 2 years ago.... he sold it to move up to the Mini Cups... but his XR2 was bright yellow, with a garish yellow dash

Yup - I think we've discounted hatchbacks now.... The car needs some grunt/displacement as standard and a bit more highspeed poise

M3 - I havent driven an E36 M3 before to be honest.
