NP, because gray market and Group B are like hazelnut spread and chocolate, and my state doesn't do inspections, so registration would be a snap.

Okay, now I want to know what cars came from the factory with velocity stacks. To start the list: E39 M5.

E39 M5 thinks the young whippersnapper's a little too fancy for his own good, but overall likes his style.

In the "I Appreciate Depreciation" $20k-ish execu-rocket category, I'd rather have an E39 M5, an E55 AMG, a Quattroporte or an S6. The first-gen CTS styling hits a lot of sour notes for me. I could get along with the second generation, but it still lacks the panache of the European saloons.

...damn, for that condition and mileage that's a pretty good price for the 850i... and a manual, too? I think I'm in love. Downside is, they're not that quick by modern standards and they WILL destroy your sanity and finances when (not if) something goes horribly wrong (and that's coming from an M5 owner; the 8…

Hey, how 'bout you leave some COTDs for the rest of us, guy?

Oh, DAMN. I was all ready to hammer the CP button when I saw "Fisker," (or would have, if I could vote... GAWKER... Y U NO WORK RIGHT WITH IE???) but then I saw it. A coachbuilt, nearly unique, de-Bangled, 650 hp car that looks like the result of a passionate affair between an Aston and a Bimmer (two of my favorite…

I'm..... not sure how relevant this comment was, but I am pretty sure it was awesome. Well done, and a heartclick for you.

I know, I've never seen a street M1 with a wing like that before. Not sure what the story is on that one. Anyone?

Wow, hats off to DFW for keeping things in perspective and not being a bunch of knee-jerk penny-ante Nazis about this. They identified what these guys actually did wrong, what potential security issues were pointed out by their actions, and actually showed some degree of sense of humor. Well done.

Oh, well played indeed.

1M says, "At least I don't have a big goofy '70s wing, pops!" And while I can't scare up any lap times for a non-Procar M1, the 1M, while it's got about a 600lb weight handicap, has huge advantages in horsepower and torque, an almost identical power-to-weight ratio, significantly better acceleration, 32 years newer…

Four .50s and a 20mm cannon in the middle, thank you very much.

Straight, freshly painted Opel GT? With a modern EFI mill (would like to know more, but it's gotta be an improvement) and a five-speed? Assuming it's sorted and works, sign me up!

I second Smokey Yunick being a valid answer in and of himself

"Allowed?" No, I disagree. It shouldn't be up to anyone to "allow" or "disallow" an individual to use his/her property as he/she sees fit, so long as the usual safety standard is met. And it was met in this case; "Liberty Belle" was operated and maintained in accordance with FAA standards. Accidents happen. This…

2nd offense:

Was prepared to be horrified.

I never thought I'd say this, but... the French way of doing things is just brilliant in this area. Get a DUI, drive a Smart. I'd vote for this.

BMW LMR V12. Because it speaks the truth.
