Congrats.

The Evo is a bad ***.

No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Just be careful in the EVO - I've seen a few up here mangled.

Congrats on the new IX. Get yourself a 3" TBE and an Ecutek flash and dyno tune and you'll be over 300whp. Awesome!

Guess it depends on your definition of loads. To me if you can afford a 60k car you have loads. Just my definition. I’ve driven the M3 and STI on a few occasions, I’d take the M3 in a heartbeat if I could afford one, love that car.

I've been driving my friend' 06 M3 for a few days now. Wow, that car is just amazing. I would go as far as calling it the perfect compromise between comfort and power. It is amazingly comfortable, even with full coilovers and 19 inch wheels!

It's safe to say they've moved beyond the 903whp mark... This is what they did last weekend

Funny you say that... they just finished up an Evo for a kid in FL. with 1041whp. There are others that they've done for customers with 900+whp.
