Mine didn't cost me thirty grand either. I only paid 26K, plus it handles like a mofo. I took it to an autocross up here and only lost D-Stock by 2 seconds. I had the stock tires and everything. It was a 330 BMW with R compounds that beat me. I love when people say for 30K you better being running a 13. You have to realize everything an R32 is about, its a high speed cruiser, a nice drag racer, a supreme handler, and it has all the luxury of higher priced cars. Well worth the 26k to me.
