Yup I went from an E39 530i manual to a Focus ST.

There are no 540i manual tourings sold in the U.S.

What about the M4 GTS? US cars get a half cage there.

I don’t really understand those who want a limit-pushing 911 trackster with a manual. It’s like wanting a brand new 4k TV that only displays in black and white to make things feel nostalgic. But heel-toeing is so fun you say! Yeah, it’s also slower than PDK, which is why you can still buy a slower Carrera in manual,…

There’s a really rare 959. 959S I think it’s called?

Thanks for the correction.

The F1's S70/2 is essentially two S50B32s (from the E36 M3) in design.

I actually remember it being much slower, 228 or 231.

Hence Andy Wallace mentioned he had to be young and dumb to do this. At 390 kph the car was a bump away from taking flight.

Interesting tidbit, EA’s NFS2 was released prior to 1998 so the car in the game was never able to reach 240 mph as no one had any idea that it could.

Puppyknuckles make me wet.

Can best and worst be the same car? And by worst I mean terrifying because I had no idea what suspension and tires this E30 vert had and how old they were halfway around the Ring.....in the wet.

Curious, what made it the worst?

I don’t know. Exterior-wise, I can’t seem to warm up to really any E-class after the W211. That thing was so badass.

The conception of the Mk3 Focus is the responsibility of Ford Germany to my understanding, which makes it German by design.

This is the answer. Bigger than a Fiesta, more lively than a GTI, German by design, 270 ft-lbs.

What about torque? No checks there.

I own an E46 M3 and Focus ST and I find the Focus to be way livelier than the M3. That’s not to say it’s faster because it’s not, but the character is different.

I did this on my first auto loan but that’s because I decided I no longer liked the car. I’d rather toss a few grand down the toilet than drive unhappy. It’s my biggest passion in life so why not? One of money’s inherent uses is to buy happiness.

I’d be very upset if that 5er was 5000 lbs. I’d guesstimate around 3800 or so.
