Yes, like those. I enjoy driving the 08 ZO6 on our lot many times better then the 458 italia or LP640 Murcielago that I've also driven this week. With the high end cars like Ferrari they don't get enough people buying manuals to justify the development cost of making them and emissions cert. them. If there was money to be made, they would be available. 2yrs ago you couldn't give a manual trans F430 away at auction. Last month one sold for double what a 430 should have. Why? Because its an ultra rare manual trans. I feel like the world is getting bored with the auto's now that the fancy newness has worn off.
I see most of these are more "luxury" brand cars. That's cool. If you want to make your hair stand on end get a WRX and spend the rest on some upgrades to +400hp. Light weight AWD that can put that 400-450hp to the ground without spinning for days will make you see Jesus, Allah, Buddha, or whomever you believe in.
I'd kill 20 of you before you could say "get him" and I'd be shitting pieces of you all for days. I'd KEEL you dead!
Yeah, but you ran when I was trying to carry a drunk buck up 270 stairs. You sold me out! And when I was about to have a heart attack and breathing like I just ran 200 yards at 20,000 feet you asked "you okay? why you breathing so badly?" Motherf@cker!
My wife has a '15 335xi auto and it's fine. In stick it may have been slower, but the enjoyment factor is definitely decreased for me...her commute is mostly in rush hour so it's fine for her needs.
"Ford Focus" and "freaking awesome" should never be used in the same sentence, unless it is to say "it is so freaking awesome that I finally shitcanned that Focus".
350hp, Haldex AWD, Brembos, 6spd manual, for under $40k. Oh, and the diff and brakes provide oversteer, making it tail happy. Sounds pretty awesome to me.
My chipped/wheels/suspension N54 e90 335i was the best car I ever owned. Long term reliability has been relatively good. Much better real world car vs same gen M3 due to TQ. Surprised quite a few in mine at BMWCCA track event..as in all of them.
I used to say Ford Fu*kedUS when I saw one. The new RS is based on the European version of things and they actually liked the Focus there...well because their's was much better
OK. For some reason, I thought you had the "S" (that's the middle one, right?) Still, in a racetrack challenge involving five different tracks, my money is on the RS to win at least three. That car seems to be a real weapon.
