@JonZeke: Mine was in exactly this car too. It was maroon. Needless to say, my high school dreams of slaying trim were not realized when they discovered I drove this car. It was a trooper though. My first engine swap.

Previous owner heard muttering something about a G5..

This round is on me,

I always liked the Can Am 917 myself. Something that batshiat insane with an open cockpit? Balls.

@jedchev: No matter the situation, a hot meal is grin inducing.

Opulence, he has it.

@LemursGT: I understood. But honestly I was a young man in my 20's in good shape mentally, and physically. If I can swing a sledgehammer or wash a dish I am capable of finding work. Therefor capable of covering my own immediate needs. That's all.

ROFL. I watched it on MBWorld until it spilled off to Performance Forums. Those guys hit Genmay.net levels of shenanigans.

@vpcmotorsport: 'Just walk away.'

@McMike: I still have it. Currently being lent to a friend for a few weeks. I have about 172,000 miles on it now. A lot of little things stopped working however it fires up without complaint, and that's all I need it to do. I'll drive it until it stops starting. She's had a long life, and is certainly worthy of a…

@gravit8: Truth.

@geistkoenig: Yes.

@RB26Skyline- hibernating bear: Likely due to F1 moving to 1.6 liter turbo 4 cyl. engines for the 2013 season. KERS is rumored to be allowed thus drivetrain development like this makes sense.

@mechanicalTurk: OH. I see what you did there.

Damnit. I know this would happen after the release of GT5. I just got my garage to the state it was in FM2 in FM3. Please Turn 10, there has to be a way to move cars over game to game. Many models remain constant through the versions. Would a redemption program work? IE, I submit my garage to you from FM3, and you…

@gearhead455: Sweet question. I put my 98 Grand Am SE (the 4 cyl) up to 116 on a downhill stretch of 295 North just before the exit to Brunswick Maine. In winter on bold tires. Rushing home ahead of a wave of hellish snow. I made it to my driveway as the flurries started.

@Quotidian_Hr: This one comes close. I've always loved the sound of a supercharged Benz.

@Billy Seroyer: Seconded. Nothing in the world has felt faster on such a visceral level.
