Its not bad. My buddy gets 18 on his charger hellcat. These German TT V8s are hilariously bad. I get 15 on my E63S with mostly highway (I disable cylinder deactivation and start stop).

That’s the way it used to work. These new torque vectoring systems are insane. Both the E63 and the M5 are RWD most of the time and only send power to the front when you need the traction. They’ll let you use the rear diff to rotate on trail braking just like you would a RWD car but let you get on the throttle pre…

Nah, they’re all Russia fans. England are one of the least white teams left in the competition, certainly in their half of the bracket.

Dodge/GM might get more power but they sure as hell get less performance. This thing (and the E63S) will lunch any Hellcat and even the amazing CTS-V around most tracks as well as in a straight line. First of all there’s the power which is underrated by the factory - 640-650 crank as proven on mutiple dyno runs. Next…

Is this a M5 competition or just the vanilla peasant M5? (guessing latter because of the chrome trim). This or the E63S?

You don’t want to wait till then - thats when it’ll start breaking down. I’ve owned M cars (and an AMG now) and the sweet spot is a 1-2 year old CPO. You have a 6 year warranty at that point and the car’s mostly going to be fine in that window. Think about it like this

I hate the warriors as much as the next (non norcal) person but even I’d admit that the only reason boogie got to GS is because the other teams let him. To me this means one of two things - either every other contending front office is stupid or his injury is worse than reported and he’s a 50-50 bet to even play this…

Don’t want to be pedantic but brits not = england. Scotland and Wales (especially Scotland) are bitter rivals who would like nothing better than to see England choke on another shootout.

This makes sense. I really respect them for the way they played today. They could have done the boring predictable thing but chose to go for it. 

He also seems like a genuinely good dude. This piece from him is well worth a read.

Neymar is one of the most loathsome players in the world cup because of how much he flops. Yeah there was some incidental contact today but it didn’t look deliberate or painful. That should have been a straight red card because its not the first time he’s been caught doing this. One of the reasons today’s…

Japan could have (should have?) played the game like Russia did yesterday and tried to push it to OT and penalties. Instead they went for it, even with a lead and gifted us the game of the tournament. Here’s to hoping Belgium beat the dirty, cheap, undeserving Brazilians. Neymar should have (at least) got a yellow for…

Calling it now. Lebron will return to Cleveland on a 1+1 deal. He will opt out next offseason and move to the lakers to join KD who also reupped on a 1+1 deal. This fits with his oldest son’s high school search too.

I don’t get letting Ariza walk. Sure it lets them (most likely) keep Capella but 15m was surely doable for the Rockets. They just lost depth, a locker room leader and a consistent performer in an offseason where they were supposed to be getting better. The Rockets need all the depth they can get because they need to…

Losing to Belgium on Thursday was the best thing England have done in a World Cup since 1966. They only have one team that’s at least as good as or slightly better than them (Croatia) left on their path to the finals.

Because volvo is a real copany that’s demonstrated the ability to generate cash. Telsa is a glorified kickstarter for free beer tomorrow.

Didn’t nick heidfeld take a formula one car around in four minutes something a few years back? Surely that’s still the outright lap record.

They’re a South American team. All of them are badly overrated in this World Cup and don’t really have the talent, depth or coaching to compete so far away from home. Sweden/Switzerland on the other hand would be a pretty tough matchup for England and I could easily see them beat Columbia easily only to lose to either…

Seriously fuck these guys. There’s nothing noble about being a menace to everything on the road. I wish more cops did this and I think the punishments needs to be a lot more serious than a mere warning. It should be points and fine at the very least with aggravated public endangerment charges for repeat offenders.  I’v…

I never understood why Luke’s arc angered such a vocal section of the Star Wars fanbase. Luke was never a particularly interesting character to begin with. In the original trilogy, he was a stand in for the primary audience of the movies (adolescent gen Xers and young baby boomers) to self identify with who’d serve as…
