I highly, HIGHLY doubt someone would cross shop a 20 year old M5 V8 with a new M3 GTS. This car is aimed at Porsche buyers, BMW purists with money, and the like.

Well he DID call himself a redneck/hillbilly. :P

Oh GOD the drone. My subwoofer is going to kill itself trying to convey it to me. No joke. :P Sounds nice besides that drone somewhere in the lower-mid range when it lets off.

Cam? What cam?

A bolt on LS motor is far, far from lazy, man. Only high performance German V8's are “lazy” from the factory. You get what you pay for, no?

I see your point. Another way to look at this, though, is that decisions aren’t nearly as clear and obvious when you’re on the ground/in war time. It’s easy for us to poke holes in their plans 25 years later, but who knows what they were going through at the time.

My approach to dealing with carbon buildup is installing an aftermarket methanol system on the car. Methanol cools down most things and more importantly prevents the carbon buildup, and with the appropriate tune, you’ve added significant power as well. You’ll pay less than a thousand dollars for the kit, and probably…

Doesn’t seem to be working from Lebanon. IP not allowed. Boo. :(

An old Beetle with a Subaru STi engine:

Right?

You’re confusing eras. The E-Class before this one had the shitty biodegradable electronic harnesses and lots of electric problems as a result.

Not fair to consider it that way either.

Yes, please ruin the car by installing the lighter, more powerful engine. Suffer from the bigger aftermarket, suffer from the insane power levels you get both N/A and FI, suffer from the better fuel economy, suffer from the instant response, noise, and charisma bestowed upon most V8’s. Suffer away. The 1/2JZ motors…

There IS a functioning government in Syria, whether you like it or not. I still have family there. Stop watching TV.

Disagree for one simple reason. Turkey has also bombed Syria. They cannot be the aggressors and they cry foul when someone flies over their airspace. War or not, Syria still has a government, and I highly doubt the Turks took permission before breaching Syrian airspace.
