The Griggs stuff is legit racecar suspension. It's almost worth buying the car for the suspension and brakes alone.

That is cool though. I'd DD it, probably would've been a better purch than my Kamry.

Damn, that's sweet. Seems like it would make for a killer track car project with that low buy-in. I wonder if he'd take a :poorvette: for it.

It seems that the F80 is the first reliable m3 since the e36. Older m cars scare me, my e46 had 20k in maintenance and repair by 80k miles. Cheaper to keep leasing new ones at that rate

It is a nice ride ! But I’d rather roll in a F80 m3 for 48 or an M2, for around the same price. The Porsche is a full 13 years older. That’s not good for a daily

996 overall feels a bit :flaccid: to me, don't get me wrong I'd love one in this condition for $25k.

I'd pay more if it was stock and had a :neat: color like this one, i know some people will think that spending more for a color is :ludacris: , but my response to that statement is this:

Image

The right thing to do is go 997 or newer. Saw some banter about :wat: is reliable but need to go back to see if the 997s are a risky buy. Chances are one needs to spend 70k-90k on a Porsche that they can expect to make money on.
