every car at lemons struggles to last 24 hours....24 hours is insane on a car. my focus lasts about 15 minutes at the track before brakes are cooked and the car needs to cool off. with normal race prep a newer Lincoln with the 3.9 will probably prove better than an old shit box like this

or just buy a Lincoln LS and have a much much better 4 door mustang and actually are in the range of 500-800 with a v8

People say this all the time and even though that might have been true in the 2000’s, Cars today look nothing like this. They are bloated edgey, angry, have styling lines which make no sense, huge pillars and skinny windows I could go on and on. This car is timeless but it could never pass for a new car it’s simply to…

and the m5 would eat this......gas will ALWAYS be faster than diesel

“generally” speaking car enthusiasts like:

audi makes one diesel race car, Nissan makes one fwd race car. everyone else knows gas and rwd are the only way to go

you said "off the line". the fact is diesel is NEVER faster than petrol unless you are an ass and compare a v12 tdi audi to its 2.0T counterpart. that shitty low redline means you need to shift more to hit the same speed than I do.

ok then tell me why they are the only ones doing it?

then why doesn’t ferrar, bentley, rolls Royce make them? gas is fast. gas is luxurious. diesel is for peasants

which one

none of which are faster than gas.....

ok how do you explain that in Europe diesel is reserved for the mid size and smaller cheap economycars and all the larger faster and more luxurious cars have gasoline engines? this is a 7 series not a Peugeot hatchback, it shouldnt rock a diesel.

if you like trucks or hyper miling maybe.....this is a 7 series its meant to be quick and luxurious and effortless. even the stick doesn’t belong here but it gets a pass. this car has no business rocking a diesel engine

just because you can doesn’t mean you should. all racing series have been with gasoline engines for a reason

you and everyone else on this site needs to hop off the diesel bandwagon. its ugly smelly slow and noisey. performance cars=gasoline. agricultural trucks and tiny gutless hatchbacks=diesel. the enthusiast choice is gas. enthusiasts like revving along with hp and torque. diesel only has torque and gas with turbo now…

this car should be worth that alone because its a 7 series with a stick already hooked up. the engine is very undesirable for such a car but if someone invested the time to swap in an e39 m5 drivetrain this could be worth a healthy chunk of change

Still shitty

rearward facing seats don’t count as that’s been a wagon thing for ever

I deserve to be honored with coming up with this revelation first!

I still think they are very bad and worse than all the competition
