Fuxk this guy - give him the death penalty, the most painful method. He doesn’t deserve to ever see the light of day again, or his loved ones.

well yeah, but its all about finding the sweet spot. Sure a 370Z can handle more HP, lots of cars can. I wasn’t specifically talking about this car, but I would be curious to see how well this 650HP works up up against a myriad of other cars with less tuning, or stock, maybe like a 996TT with a flash. Its all about…

You didn’t say anything regarding affordability. You said “It’s a car that caused supercar buyers to expect more from exotic machinery and offered technical advancements beyond the contemporary state of the art”. I think that if people read that and didn’t know which car you were referring to, their guess would be the…

What lag? 6.2L V8 moves a lot of air on its own.

The freedom is strong with 'murica, innit? Spectators prosecuted? Slower than speed limit, still misdemeanour? Is this taken out North Korea's legislation?

Then let me present to you, my friends' straight-piped BMW 850:

What a shame to not live by this rule!

At Mazda, we used to tell RX-8 customers "A redline a day keeps the mechanic away."

Lost what sponsors? They are the BMW works team and the only sponsor present for the past 2 years was IHG Rewards which is still on this livery.

[rolls eyes] It doesn't?! [/rolls eyes]

I disagree with the K&N filter stickers because it is one of the few products on the planet that does just what it says, it increases performance and fuel mileage. You can't compare that to set of rubber gonads.

I don't know. For me, it depends on who's doing the mods. If it's some Joe Dirt (pronounced deer-tay) doing it in his garage, not only no, but hell no. Whatever they did here was at least done by professionals. We should cut some slack for that.

Hmm.. Having second thoughts about getting one of these when it hits the used market..

Let's not forget that the best version of this 2700lb RWD car had the SR20det, a 205 hp turbo 2.0.
