Done. Only took my hayabusa 4th gear to hit 290/180mph and was still pulling. Sold it for a 954rr - better all around bike. 

K5 GT with option = ±$35k
330i base starting price = $45k
...sooo how is this not a fair comparison??? Oh, so you want to compare the M-sport, then let’s pull out the Stinger GT2 and compare the two (still doesn’t look good for BMW, sorry)

I’m not a Kia/Hyundai owner or even a supporter, but c’mon man, you can’t sit…

Answer: 2003 - 2006 Honda CBR600 F4i with the banana seat. ±115hp, 420lbs wet, clean examples for $3-4ooo USD.

I read your statement regarding 30% of our nation’s housing marketing being in a HOA and thought *no freaking way* and went on to google to debunk your claim.

And I’ll be damned - you’re right.

As an owner of an SS Sedan - I agree. It’s one of the best “all around” cars for under $40k... just wish it was ±700lbs lighter.

Meet guy in middle-of-nowhere Kansas to test-drive / purchase 2006 Yamaha R1. Because people are leery of letting someone drive their motorcycle before purchasing, I gave the seller the cash I brought to hold during the test drive. I go 2 miles down the road, turn around, accelerate... “BAM!!!” engine explodes. I walk…

Mic drop!!

Ooof.  We need to know more to this story. 

I went from an e46 330ci to a Chevy SS sedan. Lots of leg room. Lots of fun. BIL has an X5 40M and its wicked fast.  

Chevy SS [sedan]. Lots of space. Lots of fun!
(I love mine)

Sleeper sedan! I picked up a ‘14 Chevy SS sedan (6.2L)... comfortably fits two car seats in the back. Only drawback: 17mpg avg.  

1) RE: practicality... It’s considered THE MOST practical rear-mid engine supercar ever made. 3 seats, 8 cubic feet (227 litres) of luggage (for context, a front engine Ferrari 812 only has 210 liters), and it’s the size of a Miata.

2) RE: not cool, it’s not fun... Hmm, let’s take a survey and ask the readers of this…

Based on the current reviews of BMW, this might not be too difficult these days.

TLDR: Buyers are choosing 296 over Roma (because the Roma only looks good and sucks in every other way)

I’ll nominate a high-mileage Audi B6/7 S4 with the 4.2L

Accounting Dept will make sure the final version ends up looking like:

A newer interceptor.

I love my SS sedan. 99% of the population has no idea what it is... true definition of a sleeper.

My 2014 Chevy SS (i.e. rebadged Holden Commodore)... people hear the 6.2L LS3 start up and realize it’s not a Malibu  :)
