For some people speed compensates for penis size.

Regardless, modern cars have really made it easy for a commoner to get arrested or turned into a mist when high speed comes to a sudden stop. Please enjoy responsibly. Also, a focus on fun would be nice. Cars like this and the M6 GC CP I had just aren't special feeling at legal speeds. They're also not great on the track so I don't think I could justify buying another ... unless I also have an exotic or two and need to spend more money on my commuter

Fast with little to no feedback at that.

this is absolutely crazy considering the weight. it should not be that competitive with those other cars. and to the speed thing, i posted a while back that i really believe the next m3/4 will be the start of a new generation of cars. vehicles that are so fast at such an attainable price point could lead to regulations. the s58 in a 3500lb car should easily do 3 second 0-60 and every single competitor will have to keep up. you're going to have a whole fleet of $70k 10 second cars. and then the americans will catch up and you'll have $45k cars doing it.

In addition, 2.7... what? 2.70s? That's very different from 2.79s. Clickbait. With a JB4 and everything else stock, 2.59s in a Gran Coupe is achievable. The 1/4 came in 10.44s... both on desolate farm roads. In a Coupe, I'd expect a 5/100ths to perhaps a 1/10th less in the 1/4 mile and perhaps a slightly faster 0-60. My 2020 M5 Comp ran 2.57s to 60 and 10.37 in the 1/4... both repeatable. The M8 GC exhibits similar consistency. |

There is a market here--I'm a member--perhaps it's not too broad an appeal I guess but I find hitting 60 from a traffic light in under 3 seconds to be amusing. I enjoy tailgating and passing exotics on roadcourse straightaways... I enjoy beating a Lambo at the dragstrip... and I even enjoy the smug grin on Porsche driver's faces as they pull away from me in the corners on a road course. But everything I just described is fun... even losing. |

I get that. They're not as engaging as some of my old 3-series that I used to drive back in the UK that had 3 peddles and were simply visceral (and kinda slow )... but the modern GTs add different aspects to the overall driving experience that, combined, still equate to massive fun.

Nah, the S63 is a great and smooth engine, but it it doesn't have enough character for a super/halo car. What BMW really needs to do is make a high revving naturally aspirated I6 or V8 (or even better V10/12) lightweight super/sports car (preferably mid-engined) with a manual transmission, optional DCT and carbon core technology that could go toe to toe with Porsche... but that's just a pipe dream sadly

If the R8 can be classified as a super car, this should have been beyond... well is performance wise but aesthetically as well. Is BMW GmbH hiring? 🤔 |

Limited run. They might actually hold value. You might have to wait for a while.
