You’re mostly correct except in the one exactly instance you cited... you see AGV specifically made the entire Pista GP and GP-R helmet models directly from Valentino’s input.
Oh look the people that very nearly brought you a pedophile senator are concerned over the well being of children.
Wrong. ‘95s are the worst year. The s50 will drop valves and lacks 200cc of displacement vs the s52.
No one is paying a premium for a manual F80 M3.
I know the “pure” variant will draw all the jalopnik headlines & comments from people that won’t actually buy one but AWD, DCT version of this car with 480 to 510hp is going to be a killer DO-IT-ALL machine.
At this point (175 comments) there are more people commenting on bmw offering an M3/4 manual than will actually order the car from new spec’d with 6MT.
These races should be stopped. Isle of Man TT, pikes peak, Macau, and all the rest.
Here’s the thing tho lap times and N-ring times don’t really matter.
oh don’t worry, based on my experience at bmw meets, you most definitely won’t be the only one with that much fake carbon garbage stuck onto their car.
“12. I predict 0 depreciation for this GT4. It’s all the right parts at the right time, at the right price.”
Purists? You mean the guys who show up to Cars N Coffee religiously every sunny Saturday wearing nomex shoes to stand around talking about brake pad compound and caster angles with other random middle aged balding guys for 2 hours!?
“It’s probably a very lazy and boat-like 601 HP, but it’s all coming from 12 cylinders nonetheless.”
Ultimate poseur machines IMO.
your understanding of motorcycle dynamics is wrong. The motorcycle never “falls” and is “caught” by back steering. Applying less steering angle (counter steer) will just lift the bike up... if you apply enough steering angle to turn the front wheel in direction of travel the bike will begin to turn in the opposite…
The absolute worst things about these cars (e46m3s) are the people who own them. They’re almost all douches.
First let me say the very best thing about the M3 CS is the color palette. They’re absolutely killing the paint colors on these things.
