It's ok 90s Ford quality buddy. I would love to have a 5 speed Duratec 30 Swapped SVT with a decent LSD. I think that'd be an awesome car even if no one else would.

:v: I'm throwing a 3L/quaife in mine this summer.

edit: oh and some of these suby pics are making me want a bugeye really badly. I think I know what my next car will be...

How do you find the ownership experience? I've got a 1.8T Jetta and for my next car have been heavily considering adding two cylinders and a turbo. Nightmarish? Expensive? Etc?

The 2.7T is pretty reliable and stout. The stock k03 turbos are a bit iffy and will fail somewhere between 100-150k miles, but that's just an excuse to go k04. The timing belt also needs to be done before 80k miles.

Well consider my arm twisted, I'm now on the longterm hunt for a clean B5. I took a 4.2 S4 (B6? I don't know audi stuff besides B5) out and loved the poo poo out of it. I also love turbo lag (seriously) so that's got the older ones in higher priority for me, the V8 did make a lovely sound though.

The 2.7s hardly have any lag (k03s are small!) and they are torquey as gently caress.

This was some good stuff to hear, I was looking at Audi's with the 2.7T for when I move to Seattle (will be selling my truck before I go). I was really torn between a A6, S4, and an Allroad. The Allroad would be most practical, the S4 least practical, but most fun, and the A6 a good compromise between the two.

My parents have an APR chipped A6 (318hp on 93) and it pulls like a goddamn freight train. I've never seen a 4000lb car move so fast. It doesn't handle like a S4, though (though a stiffer suspension will help)

Its the only way a real S4 would be, 6 speed.

Good poo poo. Too many tips on the market :(

My next car will likely be something 2.7t powered/6spd.

Nothing matter when you are lowered. Not bump steer, not your underbody, not axle longevity, and certainly not handling.

As long as one acknowledges that slamming a car is purely a cosmetic effect, it's OK in my book. It can look ridiculously good in some cases. The problem is that most people believe lowering their cars beyond sane levels improves handling by lowering the center of gravity, when in reality it fucks up the suspension geometry and alignment of the car. It's especially funny to see people tooling along the freeway sitting half an inch off the ground with tons of camber dialed in...have fun with your tire wear!

edit: case in point, that silvia posted in the hot cars thread.

Hey, maybe you could edit this and put in a picture that doesn't destroy the tables? That would be super.

Are you browsing on your cellphone or something? No broken tables here, and I'm running a 10" screen.

Am I the only one who hates the look of the Z4?

I don't know jack about the performance aspect, but I can honestly say that the look of the Z4 shows everything that is wrong with BMW designers these days. Blah.

You guys are crazy. The z4 is gorgeous-the M coupe is even sexier.

What brand rear diffuser and exhaust do you have? That looks extremely similar to a stock C63 AMG exhaust. I really like the updates you did to the interior, it makes it look a lot more like a Benz and less like a Hyundai.

That is a C63 AMG.

The wood looks a lot better than the factory brushed metal trim, I have to say. Well done, it looks very tasteful.

Huh, odd. I thought the guy that took his MB to the Ring was driving a Carlsson C350 or something.

Love the car, though.

Hmm you may be right, but the diffuser and exhaust tips look pretty similar to the C63 AMG.

It's a 2007 Cayman S six speed. It was a great deal for the mileage. I test drove it months ago when it was at normal value - I noticed it had gone down by 2 grand 2 weeks ago, and another three thousand last Thursday.

I'll get it cleaned up and post some proper pictures once it stops raining.

Congrats on the purchase, looking forward to your pics. Be sure to nab some of the interior as well.

I still haven't taken pics of my C6 for you guys :\
