So I've been seriously considering parting out my car....
buy holy crap this car is pretty quick!
From a car-market standpoint, there's nothing close to it. Regardless of its fit, finish and design (all very good), the car has class leading performance - especially when modded.
I've pretty much got buyers for all my parts, but what the heck would I buy next? I'd like to stay in the $40K - $50K range so the only real fit is an M3, but that's only got 2 doors.
I'd love a used M5, but heck, that's $60K at least.
There really isn't any car in this price range that delivers as much fun and luxury!!!

you can get 2 Toyota Matrix', and a Honduh Accord for that price!!!
j/k 
seriously though, I'd put money down on a VW GTI daily driver (only $22K), and a WRX (for track) for that price. Or get a C32 AMG...is nice but only comes in auto.

The WRX is an option, although I'd need to replace the headlights - but
those cars have no low-end grunt, no torque. How does a guy go from 400+ ft/lbs of torque to that????

with all my mods I'm afraid its a matter of time before the turbo's go...
my dealer would probably warranty it unless AoA tries to screw with them. The service mgr said a chip is cool, and the exhaust will lower EGT and engine heat so its a plus. I'm worried about AoA and my transmission
