Hi all,
I need help to determine what to work on this winter. In the past I have had an E36328is for ten years and currently have a 2012 mustang GT, mostly stock (tires and brake pads upgraded), which I got new. I run road tracks about 5-6 events a year and have come to the point I need a better car. My choices are to upgrade the mustang with, say Kenny Brown suspension and add race seats, roll bar, etc. Or get an E46 M3 (can get one around 10K) and build that, likely be a bit less $$ overall after selling the mustang. My love is the corners and running Shenendoah at Summit Point. Don't know if the mustang can be made to corner like the M3. Thoughts??

interesting thought. i had not considered a vette, but for what they cost, I think I would stink with the mustang. I have noticed that many competitive times have been posted with stangs on most courses (VIR, Summit main). One issue I do consider is what will be worse, crash a $30K car or a $10K car with $10K upgrades. With an E46, I likely could also get a tow car so the E46 wouldn't have to be a DD, which my mustang is now. I have gotten used to the power and would really like to just go and put a new suspension in, to see how good it can get.

other thoughts?

thanks for all the replys. Interestingly, the top times at several tracks (VIR, both Summit main and Shenendoah) are taken by either Porsche's, 3 series, or, interestingly Mustangs. No Vette's have recorded top times, although i agree with you that many people at open track days have them.

Is there anyone who has an unbiased opinion of the Kenny Brown setup? The many reports I have read make them sound awesome, as well as many mustangs sporting these suspensions winning on the circuits.
