I used to have a 210 E-class and an sn95 mustang that was heavily modified to about 700rwhp

Why anyone would build a sporty car on a 210 platform I have no idea. Not only doesn't the challenger handle well, its slow for its power level due to the weight.

How often do most car get ripped around a road coarse...

Most Porsche owners barely even drive their cars let alone take them to the track. I've never seen more garge queens in my life than Porsche owners. There is an old saying..when you are in a hole you quit digging.

Dave,

That is so funny Cars I see on the track. Corvettes, BMW's, Ferrari F430 Challenge, Porsche, Lotus, Miata. Cars I do not see @ the track, Mustang.

Check out the entry list for Chin @ Homestead on the 21st of Feb.

mine will not get in my 2004 GT3 or 2007GT3. I would say she has been in my Porsches less than 15 times in 7 years. She has her SL.
Too loud, too rough, too many posers trying to goat us into a road race on the free way,seats too confining, roll bar provides no access to the back.
