"Luxury" and "muscle car" are mutually exclusive. AMG's aren't cheap and strive for decent handling. A muscle car was (relatively) cheap and sought power with the "no replacement for displacement" formula. Sure, things change as time goes on, but a Mercedes is not a muscle car.

What part of a Brabus Bullit is a muscle car?

When you stick the Porsche next to those, it looks kinda boring. I mean, I would personally say it's the best looking and certainly the classiest, but a tad boring.

I enjoy the game, but I hate having to grind away for hours just to afford some of the things. The payouts are far too low for how expensive for things cost. I believe it is Rockstars way of trying to force people into buying in-game money with real money.

Man, the sellers wheel choice (offset much?) is questionable. I'd also say it's probably $1-2k too expensive. Even then I'd have that "I just paid too much" feeling in my gut if I bought it.

$502

Don't forget that they even got into F1.

This? This is Jalopnik.

For a bunch of car folks, it seems too many people on Jalopnik don't know what a muscle or pony car is.

$53,000 is close/well into the six figure price range? When adding about every option short of custom logo floor mats and stripes, I can get the price to $75,000. That's only 3/4 of the way there.

In most states, you legally aren't allowed to pass a bicycle unless you can give at least 3 ft of clearance. While it isn't always realistically possible, especially in cities, it's the law.

You can do that with steel ones too.

Reducing weight is good. Reducing unsprung weight is even better. Less unsprung weight means the wheel can track better over a rough surface.

Well... it's a leaf spring. Not a coil spring.

Well... seeing as how the Cupra will lap the 'Ring about 9 seconds faster than a e92 M3, I doubt the M235i will do it faster than the old M3. I think a world renowned racetrack is a pretty good place to measure a car's performance.

How it wasn't even a second faster to 60mph despite the fact it is RWD, or that is is just over a second faster for the 1000m. Or maybe its the fact it costs almost double the price yet barely out performs a FWD hatch.

I'm sure it's a great car, but for $50,000 while also wearing an M badge, I would expect it to hold up better against a simple Cupra.

Which was still considerably lighter than the closest Mercedes competitor.

Of course a majority are going to be line operators, but you can't add ~1,000 jobs without adding to engineering, quality, supervisors, HR, maintenance, and technician levels.

What the hell ever came of that Alpine prototype they released several years ago?
