That's flat out, "Bad Ass".

Thanks for the compliment - car is a rocket and handles quite well being light and mid-engine. When I lived in CA I could run through first gear 0 to 60mph in roughly mid 3-second range when I could get it to hook. I just spin the 12" slicks until they really get heat in them. Here in CO now I still spin 'em but second gear to 105mph is a longer pull and I can feel the altitude loss.
I go back and forth about adding numbers. I was thinking about a 3-digit number just to be a bit different than the typical 2, then only 2, then none and so forth.
When I first bought the car as a stock 4-cyl I was pit crewing for a SouthWest Tour team and they had an extra sticker pack, so I stickered the car exactly like a SW-Tour car on the front fenders. Looked kinda cool to me, but a bit too redneck on a German 4-cyl car
Got some interesting looks driving around that way for about a week.
