Buy a track only car, build the crap out of it and take it out to your local strip and tear it up! Build it a little more between each time you take it out and watch how it as well as your drving skills progress. You will enjoy that much more than trying to beat some douche in an M3 or IF-S on the street.
Hey, hey, M3 drivers are Douches, us ISF drivers are awesome. LOL

Full bolton's a tune and gears would allow you run with a stock new M3's but who cares, just enjoy the car.

i guess i have another option

have AMS build you a gtr

yesterday AMS has set a record of 214.04 in the ALPHA Omega GT-R Driven by Ivan Phipps!! 1/2 mile wanna go fast event.

think about that 214 mph in 1/2 mile, i bet that can beat a M3 or IS-F

there was a 4 cylinder talon there that did 208 by boosted performance.

some fast fricken cars

If you want to go faster, here is a helpful couple of tips

1) the "GO PEDAL" is on the right
2) when in doubt, just give it more gas (see option 1)
3) two modes to driving, on the gas (see option 1) or on the brake, there is no in between.
4) Race Fuel.........because the fumes are fragrant no other reason


my work here is done, carry on

Then you'll be able to beat those ISFs and M3s. But be prepared to be owned by miatas.

The cost for a Alpha12 package itself is around 80k. The GTR is another 90k maybe 65 if you find a pre owned. There are several guys who have alpha 12 packages amd STILL upgraded some of the alpha 12 parts for more reliability. That is a several more thousand over the already 170k or so spent on the ams gtr altogether. Point in case. Money can make a honda fit fly if you got the money to blow.

Best Mod to make any car fast is lots of green backs. The whole corny saying "You have to pay to play" does stand true. So winning the Power ball can help or pulling off a big bank heist as well which ever you find more tasteful. And Ive seen enough Fast and Furious movies so a couple of us together in the Z's could pull off a great heist for the ages
