I do enjoy the engineering aspect of building the car and do all my own wrenching so I'm okay with small issues like these. In hindsight, I probably would have enjoyed an E46 M3 with E85 tune for the track more. Nearly 300whp and 2850lbs.

Modern German cars are just so heavy...
There isn't much difference in weight between the two at all.
