I went the other way, I've owned a BMW for over 12 years now, and just sold my dream car, a 1991 BMW M3, built to past EVOIII specs.
300+hp & 250 ft-lbs, 2700lbs with me in it.
Really, REALLY miss it but, she went to a good home!

1996 ford probe gt... Yeah thats right. Actually, it was a pretty good looking car, Honestly i thought it was one of the nicest looking probes ive seen. Then i had to replace the clutch, engine, and 2 transmissions... stupid car.

I loved my probe.. I raced a 1995 maxima with a 50 shot with that thing and won, if you didnt put a gay cat back on those things and just tunned it a little they moved.. light car i had leather, the intieror was nice (nice for a ford) would chirp 4th with the new cluthch i put in.. I also has the flywheel shaved and trimmed so it would rev up a little quicker

you could chirp 4th??? holy eff.. I had a new clutch (althought the flywheel wasnt too good) and coudl only get a good squeal in second... I had an intake and exhaust on it.. But it was a pretty quick car... and handled very nice too.. but a b!tch for repairs.

yea suff did cost alot.. it was chipped dont know with what, and had cams and some other head work, the guy i bought it from worked for cobra automotive in wallingford and was big on fords and doing crazy **** to anything.. He told me he did all the head work himself when he blew the head gasket, said he was setting up to run a super charger but then got into an accident with it and decided to sell it, picked it up for 2800 and did the body work myself with a friend.. the car moved out.. it was a sleeper because when you put an eghuast on those cars they lost back presure and in most cases lost hp the eguast was custom but it was really quiet sounded stock and like I said it reved out to 8500 rpm sometimes it wouldnt hit a rev limiter it was an odd car, i would have kept it but it got broken into and just destroyed, rear window bashed in, doors hit, they treid to crow bar the hatch open it was a mess.. the thing would keep up with my friends 1989 mustang gt that had some mild mods.. the engine sounded sweet

to be honset it would be a good race for my audi i think but the stock number are not all that great..

dohc V6 2.5 / 164hp 156-160 tq 5-speed manual: 21/27
4-speed automatic: 20/26
5-speed manual: --
4-speed automatic: --

Curb Weight, lbs. 2690 but they are light good 1000lbs lighter then out audi's even if this car had around 210hp after his mods the weight difference alone would make for a good race
