Basically my decision at this point boils down to:

Do I spend $10,000 on a good 944 Turbo S OR Do I keep plugging away and trying to find a decent example E36 M-3 in the same general price range.........

I mean frankly, on paper the Turbo S seems to have quite a good bit of performance. Seems like it would give the E36 a run for its money.

Let me know what you guys think. Im close on a decision here.........

obdr:

tire wear will have a lot to do with a couple possibilities...
aggressive camber, and toe angles... for example, a nicely set up Z06 will wear the inside of the front tires to the threads, while the outside is not much below new tread depth... but the difference in handling is HUGE.

tire compounds have vastly different wear rates, the more aggressive street rubber the tire is, the faster the wear rate... go figure.

let's not hijack this thread too badly, and open up your own topic discussing the car you are intending on buying in the next month (there is no use to put one up any time before that IMO)

It's damn ugly, but engine wise they will probably have other versions just like the other one.

The european Focus isn't very pretty but it's better than that one.
