[QUOTE="Stop&turnFreak, post: 6398660, member: 29341"] First, I am not taking sides in this, but I want to chime in on two things. One, there is no shortage of parts for the 240. It has a great power to weight ratio, and if properly modded (and I would have to see the mods), it may be possible. I only chime in because I have seen folks come to track days, with a properly modded (and by that I mean matched coil-overs (sprung/dampened), corner-weighted, appropriate tuned, balanced brakes, good tires, competent driver) that have turned times faster than 'some' drivers in race cars. Heck, I have gone a 1:36 at Road Atlanta, before the repaving (which would be @3s faster now) in an Evo that I drove down, put on slicks (235/45), and ran in the TT group. I have gone sub 1:48's at CMP (carolina motorsport park) in the same Evo. Now, I spent @2g on performance mods for the motor (basically a good tune and cams), and about 4k on suspension :)). So, don't be so quick to doubt, I am not saying he may not be lying, but there is a possibility. Heck, you never know what you will see at some track days. Oh, and almost forgot. Racing since 8 (go-karts), sprints, dirt-track, road course, over 15 years of experience, tested for McLaren and Hendrick before med-school (which I flunked out of :)). [/QUOTE]
