I can’t believe I missed this one! I’ll give it a shot here in the comments. I was 13, and my 17 year old sister and I were visiting my uncle who lives outside of Vale, CO. He started our day by leaving the house 2 hours before our flight. Vale to Denver is about 1 and 1/2 hours. After begging the ticket agent to let…

Torque is the fun number. Being able to break loose 305 Trofeo R’s in the middle of second gear is some seriously addictive power.

Have you driven a C7 Corvette, 2016 Camaro SS, 2015 Gt350, 2016 CTS-V, or 2015 Z/28? None of those quite fall into the category of “junk.”

This. My dad, the collector he is, seven cars with American V8s as well as a Z4M and (barring the 70's carbureted z/28) that single BMW has caused more problems than all of those cars combined. Anecdotal evidence is far from concrete, but these things still matter to me.

That’s because every engine hits peak horsepower numbers at higher RPMs. I’m talking about torque, which is that secret number that everybody forgets about. And these “lazy” V8s, such as the Chevy LS7, push over 350 lb-ft of torque (at the wheels) under 2,000 RPM. I understand that the additional rotating mass doesn’t…

I consider it more a money vs heart argument, tbh. I’m absolutely infatuated with my dad’s Z4M but that’s because I’m not buying it new batteries twice a year while mail ordering BMW’s special oil and filters.

That made the most sense out of any reply so far.

I’ve driven an E46 M3, E92 M3, 135i, a list of other “normal” BMWs, and my dad owns a Z4M. They are extremely fun cars, especially that Z4M. The S54 is a massively fun engine and it’s paired very well with that car. I’ve spent many a night on Autotrader thinking about getting one for myself. However, the car somehow…

But why wait for the engine to reach the power band when I can have it there ALL THE TIME.

Here’s to beating a dead horse:

Just reminding you of what Tavarish wrote.

Those headlights make me think that the CT6 has killed somebody.

What were your worst/best gifts this Christmas? My worst was a sweater vest. Best was a drone so I can now spy on people with a loudly buzzing toy that I will crash into their window.

Proved it by having fun! I don’t care if your turbo 4 keeps up with the V8, they just can’t match the power delivery and sound of a huge engine like that. But that’s just me. Different people like different stuff. I love MCM and what they do, I just think they’re missing out by always doing 4- and 6-cylinders.

Proved that there is no replacement for displacement. I love Mighty Car Mods but always wished they would venture into V8s more. That said, they explained in the Double Unicorn videos on their second channel how Australia taxes based on displacement, so I can understand why they don’t more often explore V8s.

Drive it and I promise you won’t care.

You real tree devotees are insane. I’ve spent my whole life with a fake tree and it’s amazing. Total time between walking into the basement to fetch the tree and stringing lights is about an hour. Yeah, it probably cost about $150, but how much is your sanity worth. And how many pine needles have I vacuumed up in my…

When did you buy it? I know my dad called Les Stanford Chevy in Detroit a day or two after the car was unveiled and he ended up getting his in September 2013. And he also had the 3LT Z51, but his stickered closer to $74k.

Almost 90k!?! I didn’t know they stickered that high. Unless... Oh no. Don’t tell me you paid over sticker for a Corvette.
