Times have changed unfortunately, everything is getting heavier. But weight reduction is the only guaranteed free mod you can do to any car, hell if I had the cash I'd buy one and strip it the fuck out lol. I always thought the E36 M3 was the perfect balance of class and performance, it's a pretty nice car and still manages to have the great sports car feel. Since then they have been slowly downgrading in that respect except for the motors. Just imagine the new V8 in an E36 body....omg.
