^^^ lol :lol: imagine if the owner came out and saw you licking his new car..... i dont know how i'd react. might be flattered and then tell him he has to pay to lick my ride.
that thing is SICK! yeah, probably not a great idea to test the cooper after the saleen.... if you did buy the cooper you could always buy the s works kit!!!!

That's it? 300 horses? Twin turbo inline 6? That's pretty conservative. I'm sure you can make that car haul out with very minor upgrades to that setup. It's not liek the supras TT I-6 engine, but I'm sure it's slightly comparable. But for them being stock twin turbo, I think I could hold my own against one of those.

300HP Twin Turbo on a 335i ONLY, while the E46 M3 has 333???? Man, I would totally imagine the E90 M3 churning 500 HP out of an I6 with only N/A!

Why would you even think of buying a V8 with gas/oil prices the way they are, and not much hope to get better?

Shoot I wouldnt care if its a V8 or not. Better then driving a Geo Metro and "save" gas. Some people like can give a crap less if its a V8 or even V12. As long it makes us happy and performs the way we expect then its all worth the money.

Id chose the BMW over the lara as well. I bet its got more aftermarket support then the Lara will ever have.

As for mustangs. They are awesome cars. Its just people make the name look bad because they do it with the V6 and all.

Cheeeee-eeeeeeeeeeeezzzze! I would most definitely take the new I6 twin turbo 335i . . . without a doubt it'll be a bit more expensive now, but it is still a sickkkkkk a$$ car.
