Pretty sure you forgot THE MOST anticipated car of 2014.

When did it become an either/or situation?

Well that price is just plain wrong. I have almost that exact same setup except for different motherboard and a GTX 760 instead of 660. I cant have spent more than £800 on it.

Your definition of "performance car" is a bit skewed if you think the A4, A5, A6, A8, Q5 or Q7 are performance vehicles. These are the bread-and-butter vehicles for Audi and make up most of their sales. These are not performance cars (unlike the S and RS cars).

Why? Their signature is AWD. They have no reason to go back on that and the only car that COULD get RWD would be another R8 or successor that shares a platform with Lamborghini. Audi making a car with rear wheel drive is just as dumb as BMW making a car with front wheel drive.

Accessible is not what you want. That's what lower divisions are for. This is the highest tier, so no compromises. You want these men to perform feats that the average man cannot, hence they need the tools to demonstrate their mastery.

Being Fredric Aasbø's engine builder for his European car I can tell you reliability is paramount. Not that easy with the extreme wideness of the powerband wanted and the rather serious power in demand. His 3-liter 2JZ has so far survived 2010 and 2011 (in his NFS Supra) and 2012 and 2013 in the 86-X... to say it's…

because for competition tandem drifting you are trying to go faster than your opponent. while sideways.

Recently, there was a lovely silver Carrera GT in the showroom a local dealership (Sewickley Porsche/Audi/BMW in Pittsburgh). I would ogle it when I stopped in for service, and it remained there for many months. I finally asked someone what the story was with the car and was told that the owner brought it in for…

Sorry, but I stopped reading after you thought a 235 section tire is "wide"

speed is a factor in drifting, hence the big grip and big power. Drifting is all about having all the power you need, whenever you want it. Nitrous, Tony told me, adds about 3000 RPM of usable power to his turbo car, so it makes a huge difference for him.

As a e46 M3 owner, I respectfully disagree.
I never really loved mine and it has been for sale for more than a year now...

Technically....

Yes. E36 was a true enthusiast car, E92 M3 was basically a trim level for stock brokers.

*Ducks from fire*

Haughtily demanding to know why the clown shoe is #7, then.

I'm sure you know your M stuff, with that vin knowledge and all that. But the fact that at some point BMW was planning on making a M badged 8-series kind of proves that the 850csi isn't a M car.

E85 Z4 M should be ahead of the E46 and and E36/7 Z3 M. It's the last, best of the S54-equipped M cars. So few were made that not that many people have gotten to experience them. They are wonderful.

Wait he had a father?
WAIT THERE WAS AN ALADDIN 2 AND 3?!
