I am well aware that you can make it track ready for under $1000, but that is irrelevant in what we were arguing.

I hate to say it because I drool over the car, but IIRC 4 Ferrari 458 Italia's caught fire when owners tracked them because of the over-heating of some kind of glue from the rear. This is from one of the Top Gear Episodes where James selected a 458, Jeremy selected an SLS, and Hammond selected a GT3RS to take the US to go around a Nascar oval. Not sure what season it is, but it's on Netflix

Yeah I do remember that, but I don't know if it was specifically from taking them to the track or it just happened during normal street driving.

Is there anyway we can knock this thread down? Its in the way of relevant 370Z threads. Perhaps move it to off topic or somewhere else?

You don't need gas to bench race.

Btw, what do you think a M3 and Z gets when driven hard. It's not pretty either.

Just a high speed internet connection and a desire to troll
