Wow that’s interesting. Are the cars mostly students or locals?

Are you serious? Lubbock, TX seems like the last place I would ever imagine having an R32.

I would submit the Aston Martin DBS. It can handle the day-to-day grind but won’t fall on it’s face when shown a twisty road. It’s offered with both automatic and manual transmissions. It’s trunk can easily handle a vacation’s worth of baggage or simply that week’s groceries. It’s refined styling will illicit…

I would be interested in this “special cruise control” that the seller refers to as the car never came with it from the factory. Also, the brake calipers are painted, not powder coated. On top of this, it slightly annoys me that the seller didn’t take the time to list the actual factory names of the options. Finally,…

It truly is.

No, I’ve just read all the magazines. Haha.

Good choice. I’ve heard it’s a pretty nice car. ;)

If you didn’t take photos of this, I won’t forgive you.

I can’t speak to how BMW conducts their business but Porsche actually does this exact thing. For instance, you could order a 997 Turbo from the factory with PCCBs and the option was $8,840. However, if you wore out those rotors and wanted to replace them, you would pay $20,000 ($10,400 for fronts and $9,600 for the…

How long rotors will last are debatable. There are a lot of things to take into account. That being said, yes, for the typical driver a carbon rotor will last longer but not vastly as you assert (most amateurs get about 2 more track events out of their carbon rotors than steel).

It does indeed but we have to remember that at the end of the day brakes are still considered wear items.

I would assume so as well.

I have a legitimate question for you, Michael. Do you think that the “hardness” of the water used in this water injection system will matter? For instance, would an owner have to use water that was around 6 grains per gallon or less? I ask because I wonder if BMW has taken this into consideration as some areas of the…

There are two very good reasons for that. For starters, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system you are referring to includes a larger disk than their factory steel counterparts which in turn allows you to run a larger steel disk replacement than if you just had the standard steel disk system. In addition,…

You’d be surprised. For instance, I know a gentleman who extensively tracked his GT3 RS 4.0 and currently does his 918.

Carbon rotors are lifetime items on all modern vehicles with one main exception, tracking.

specially in downshiting

As I said, I’m not sure it’s worth $800k but if someone is willing to buy it, more power to them.

I’m very much serious.

McLaren 12Cs can get around 26-28mpg when driven normally at highway speeds... or so I’ve heard.
