    If having a 3.8 under the hood but without M badges qualifies as a sleeper, then no, I don't have a sleeper. I merely have a 3.0 v8 pig debadged 530 with Mtech body kit, t-stars, oem smileys, and clear markers everywhere. If d'Sylva would make me a chip and I put an M5 front brakes and suspension on, would that qualify me?

    I have just a slightly out of the ordinary tastefully upgraded tourer

    Amazing, amazing, amazing, simply amazing. There is a 3.0 "project" car up on ebay... Seeing this kind of potential actualized is enough to make a person do something VERY stupid...

    I don't think he was being smart, merely wondering. I was kind of wondering the same thing.

    As far as a chip goes, contact Mark before you give up on it, in most cases he'll do a Beta chip for you. I know he's been busy lately, so be patient if you're interested.

    Also, suspension would be a really beneficial modification...I vote for H&R Sport/Bilstein Sports.

    I love the iT, but that CSL, my dear God! Probably the nicest I have ever seen, and those cars are pure car porn for me. The toughest decision in my life will be when I can again afford a toy, because I will have to choose between a 3.0 CSi and a '69-'73 911. I think we need further pics of the engine and interior, don't tease us man!
