“Slow in; Slow out.”
In less than three years, the search for a reliable, affordable and safe mode of transportation has mutated into what you see here.
The 6-series led to safety schools. Safety schools led to HPDE’s. HPDE’s led to a 3-series. The 3-series led to SpecE30. SpecE30 led to poverty.
The Scuderia Smith SpecE30 #59 is now a resplendent in Mazda Mariner Blue with twin LeMans Stripes and GT-350-inspired rocker stripes.
