12k/year is a standard lease lol

Even when i had my red car amd drove ALOT i never had more than 1k miles a month.... even going to the beach.

anyways. If arts car makes 286whp i dont even wanna put my car on the dyno to compete lol. I'll be lucky to get 275 once i have the new trans in

yikes. just added up my mileage for my commute, and im roughly at 12k a year, without ANY personal driving.

I checked out the stingray. 275/xx/21's on it. cant remember the tires aspect ratio.

you'd think for a pure concept vette they'd go with a big tire... like a 305 or 315

HickRocket1258 02-02-2010 04:33 PM

Yeah I would assume at least a 305 too. Kind of odd.

DPancoast 02-02-2010 05:02 PM

275 is still really big..

but at the same time, arent there cars out there running 300 series tires stock?

lol 275 in reality is pretty large, but I'm so used to people running 315's it seems tiny.

i.e.

Scapegoat 02-02-2010 05:05 PM

for a pure concept car, that is a vette... 275 is too small

HickRocket1258 02-02-2010 05:08 PM

I'm used to hearing all mustangs with 315s on their car, I'm likse jeesh, really.

DPancoast 02-02-2010 05:19 PM

jeesh? wtf is that?

I have a question for you.
1. Which M3 is your favorite and why?

2. Which is the best M3 according to consenous on boards and other sources you read?

The E92. Because it's (*&(*#^$*&@^#*&$^@*#$^@#&$^#* awesome.

But seriously E46 is the worst.. E36 is the best for the money. E30 is unobtanium.

The one thats on the same side i dunno. I let my car run once a week but its usually at 4:30 so i doubt its a big deal. It is pretty ****ty to come home at like 2am downshiftin down my street and then idling for 5-10 mins for cool down lol

Oh well.

also whatever babe, your car will look good with just tint. lowering it will set it off on the stock wheels. they iz huge

Ever since I got my exhaust it's "I used to be able to hear the stereo sometime after you turned into the development, now I can hear you coming down cowpath rd even!"

The E46 is generally garbage I'm sorry to say. I'm a BMW lover too. The M3 is better but still a problem child that's basically hard to drive due to being built like ****.

DPancoast 02-02-2010 05:31 PM

haha that means it's justttt right

He's talkin about m3's son.. 95-99 E36, 2001-2005 (or 06 maybe) E46

piku 02-02-2010 05:46 PM

Test drove an X5 yesterday, I want it bad. But it's slow. But I love the roar of that M62. I think I may get a 540i with the 6 speed, sport package. Faster than my m3, v8 love...

Well I thought he'd want to know the year range. Did you know that 95' M3's had a 310Z trans vs a 320Z 96 and up? They fixed their mistake! Haha.

X5 ///M or go home.

There's a dinan stage 2 in philly for a good deal in a nice blue color but I worry about cars being sold at philly dealers and I worry even harder about ///M cars. It took me 4 months to pull the trigger on my current m3 after finally becoming convinced that it was the best one available.
