No! Of course not the Fairlady, but the 2008 M3 Coupe. I purchased my 2008 BMW M3 Coupe 6MT in Alpine White on January 1, 2009, but the car has not seen more than 16,500 miles. Due to the expensive monthly payments and my strong desire to be more skilled on the track, I have decided to sell. I have decided to sell the M3 and purchase a 2006 Lotus Exige. Yes, another car with beautiful, classy, and timeless lines :) I will be driving down to Thousand Oaks, CA to pick her up this weekend.
The car is being purchased from the original owner, a professional driver, who has raced for TC Kline, Compass, MCM in the GrandAm Cup and Rolex Series. The driver holds the most track records on the West Coast for vintage 2.0 liter Porsche. Most recently he raced at the GrandAm Rolex for 24 hours series and the Miller for 8 hours series in the PTG BMW M3. Of course, the Exige is his weekend/track car.
You may be wondering why I have not gone with the 2007 Exige S? Simple answer. This car is intended to be a pure track/weekend car, meaning I can do any mods to it I want. The Exige S's supercharger intercooler blocks the back window, not allowing the driver to have any view of what is behind him. Since I heavily value my back window, I decided to go with the NA Exige, which is only 1 second slower than the Exige S on the Top Gear track (either way, it is all driver). I will eventually venture into attaining a Katana2 supercharger, which SectorIII, a major Lotus shop, is currently in the process of making carb legal.
Anyways, updates to come when I pick up the car!
