But the chassis is really well suited to track duty. I love the crisp turn-in thanks to the centralized mass. The motor is strong enough for now, and unlike the N54 equipped cars it doesn't overheat.
I'm working with a shop here in LA to develop some brake ducts that will hopefully require a minimum amount of cutting. My goal is to have something functional but lease friendly.
OP thanks for thinking to have this forum created. Good thinking!

I'm glad to hear the new motor does not appear prone to overheating. Keep us posted on the brake ducts. I have a lot of questions for you and otheres who have already tracked the F30 but I will save that for other posts.
