I'm pretty darn sure it was Bob, but that may just be me. However,
clearly it was all car in Madarash's case, cuz there is no way that a
driver could be 2.6+ seconds faster than someone else in an "equal" Pony
car. Right??? ;) ;) ;)

You definitely need to have your head examined, or at least your eyes
checked. My car is BLACK. Bob's is WHITE. How much more different
could they be?!? Cloning indeed, hmrphhh!!! ;)
On a more serious note you can build an exact "clone" of my M3 for about
~$38K in parts. (You can buy Bob's already set up for ~$40.5K which is
a heck of a deal considering all the labor that goes into building a
SP car and sorting it out.) "Very expensive" is of course relative.
Relative to a new AS Boxter, that is a steal. I'm sure Team Underdog
is saying, "Hey that's a lifetime budget for racing for all of us
together." :)
No matter where the M3 falls next year, I cannot wait for the next
season to begin,
