Track driving is safe for you and your car if you don't drive over your head. The thing I tell folks who are just starting out is to never drive faster than you can always hit the same spots on the track (turn-in, clipping point or apex, and exit). This is very important. If you can't do this, you are driving over your head. Leave a little extra braking room (and even give the brakes a quick test before having to commit) and you're fine. BTW, I didn't write that for Luke's benefit, but for others who think they would like to try it, but are a bit worried. Don't sweat it. Just listen to your instructors, don't try to be Ayrton Senna (if you don't know who he was, do a search on the web), and stay within your limits - your personal limits. You'll have a blast. If you have a chance to ride along with a more experienced driver, jump at it. At my last SCCA school, none of my instructor's other students went for a ride along after lunch. I almost didn't, but decided to take advantage of his knowledge. It was so cool. This guy is so talented we were powersliding a Deisel F250 King Cab around Texas World Speedway's road course. Too much fun. None of the other students benefitted from his knowledge. I was so happy I rode along with him.

With all the engine mods you guys said that can be done, it should be safe to just spray some nos in the damn car and that should be around 400 bucks for a 150 shot. heck im putting a 50 shot in january for the new year that should give me an extra 20 horses at least and its not alot of nos but its safe for a few sprays here and there, thats good for me.

If Nissan were to start selling S15 Silvia's tomorow, I would be trading in my G20 tomorow morning. I hope I get a chance to drive one while im in Japan next summer.

And then when you've done the T4/turbo swap you can post all the info for me ...  Ever seen a 4WD doing donuts? - they should sell rides in them at amusement parks:apuke:

I've said many times, if I ever won the lottery, the very first thing I would do is fill a briefcase with $100 bills (largest in circulation in the US) and go to the biggest BMW dealer in town and keep handing over the $100 bills until I drove away in an M5. I'm not joking either. If I won the lottery, I wouldn't care about the premium paid. I'd just want the car.

Nuff said. There was some dude a while back that put a m5 motor in his m3.. his license plate read "m5 Killr"
