I have been a fan of the FR-S since it was first announced back in (08?), but I did just buy a 99 M3.
As I said in my thread it really came down to the fact that if I buy the FR-S I will not only be spending two years worth of my motorsports budget on the car, but I will be too worried about wadding the car up on track--and when you worry or are scared, you make mistakes...I still haven't cancelled my FR-S order or gotten my deposit back yet...so there is still small chance of getting that too (if I sell my tC before the FR-S comes in).
I originally wanted to pick up a late-80s E30 (like a 325is) but for not much more money I got a better chassis, suspension, and motor in a sleeker package.
I am picking the car up in Atlanta on Friday, going to The Mitty on Saturday, then driving back to PA to start prepping it for track duty.
