Keeping it simple with the MP4/4.

always liked the JGTC Skylines and Supras as well.

There should be a realistic docu-movie made about the Mid Night Club. Hopefully I can finish my book on it within the next few years, and with it I hope to teach a lot of car enthusiasts about the value of respecting other drivers on the road (first and foremost), teamwork, ingenuity, friendship, and morals.

You should try a base 3 series, twice the price, same disappointment

Dodge E-Class Hellcat.
