If all cars, even "off road" had to be registered and compliant then no one would be at an advantage on the track.

Some of us are fine with the performance of a catted exhaust. I don't feel the need to impress the little boys on the road pretending they are racers and I don't need the extra hp on the track because the capabilities of my car far exceed my skill.

What's the lifespan of race-cats?

Everything has a shorter lifespan on the track. That's just part of the game. Gotta pay to play.

Second, my 328 saw a consistent 29 MPG. My 335 sees a consistent 23. My gas guzzler E92 M3 saw 19 MPG. If you drive like your hair is always on fire, MPG is the least of your issues. These are not great numbers of course, but I don't see a need to make the situation worse by taking out the cat which just makes the car stink and makes you obnoxious as you drive by. Might as well roll coal. I had a Borla on my E92 with cats - without it the car wouldn't be drivable, it would be way to loud. Loudness for the sake of loudness isn't cool. I just think all this is moot. The upcoming G80 is going to be the last ICE powered M3. Then all of this won't matter. I don't believe that electric cars are better for the environment for many many reasons, but they make a much better basis for a car than something with an ICE engine.

Quit breaking the law and polluting the air that we all have to breathe just so you can fellate yourself over an insignificant 12hp extra.

What I am saying is that the air that you breathe is polluted far more by other things than the occasional de-catted car, and you know it. And don’t ever go to a racetrack, you’ll choke on all those evil race car fumes.

This thread (and it being made front page news) is the equivalent of asking "who did you vote for?" at your office holiday party. Good job mods, I question your motivations.

The bill is very short, so please take a moment to read it and decide if you think it's in the best interests of your community and your fellow Americans.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-...bill/2602/text One of the senators from my home state is a co-sponsor of the bill. Whether you agree or disagree with it, I would ask that you contact your state's senators directly, rather than arguing with others in this forum. I emailed both of my senators this morning, because I feel direct contact is more effective than signing a petition. https://www.senate.gov/general/conta...state&Sort=ASC |

You do realize than in total a 15 car field of de-catted racecars doing a 15 lap race around a 3mi course only puts out about 2500 miles worth of pollution? It's a lot less of a problem than the idiots out there driving 20,000 mile/year on the street with their cat delete mid pipes.
