The main thinf is i want one i will not outgrow and one that i can run a y pipe with. I by no means have the fastest car out there but eventually i want it to be into the low 10's high 9's and i hate buying parts twice.

Thanks

The Madman TA is a part you will not outgrow. It is agressive as hell though. I have a Spohn, but may switch to a Madman next season.

Well Im ordering one tday and its still between the spohn and the BMR extreme. The madman is just to much right for me and i dont see how its that much better than the BMR.
Just wanted a few last opinions.
Thanks

I have the BMR and am happy, but really, it won't make any difference which one you get among those three. Well, the Madman is not really streetable, but flip a coin over the Spohn or BMR.

Coach
I imagine it rode a bit rough with the binding in the rear. At the track the binding keeps the rear end from dropping and that helps transfer, I don't think I would want to drive it on the street.
