Das Volk posted:I was looking at an E39 M5 years ago and the dealer employee immediately ran it close to redline while the car was dead cold This has been my experience with pretty much every remotely performance-oriented car I've looked at. And they act like I'm crazy for wanting a new one off the truck.

Trans Ferdinand posted:I notice that someone switched out your shift knob, that's not the M edition knob. Yeah that's the one part of the interior that's not original. Paid $3500, which I consider a great deal since that's what clapped out early NA's go for in this area, while nicer ones usually sell for at least $5k.

Some Guy From NY posted:You can also replace your rear engine mount with an OEM Mazdaspeed3 motormount. I did not really notice a difference with my DCT transmission, but others who have the MT say it really makes the car feel better. Wow people with Focuses consider the OEM speed3 mount an upgrade? That thing is a sloppy mess and is usually the first part to be removed from a MS3. I yanked mine at like 5k miles. Maybe it's worse with the increased power output, but I still find it hard to believe anyone wants those.

I've got the street unit mount, only got that at the time because the cp-e's were out of stock. In any case I like it a lot, shifting under acceleration is a lot easier without the engine jumping all over the place. It's a little firm, I get some minor vibration at idle with the a/c on, but that's all.

GramCracker posted:Okay, this will seem like a silly reason. I know why I like wagons (aka Avant's to me), but why do the goons like them? I'd love to hear everyone's reason for why they like an awesome wagon, and also give myself some additional ammo for when someone is all "ZOMG WHI U GET WAGONE?" All the utility 99% of people need from an SUV, in a much nicer looking package that maintains better driving characteristics.

meatpimp posted:People bitch about the cost of Winter tires / storage / etc., but if you live in an area that gets legitimate snow, they are cheap insurance. $500 every 3-4 years breaks down to what... $125/year? Find me ANY accident that costs less. Also you save wear on your summers, which in turn will last much longer.

Every time I've test driven a relatively fast or sporty car, the salesperson has beaten the piss out of it before handing it over. Almost always on a dead cold engine that has been sitting for days. I can't imagine what they encourage most people to do. They also seem to think the only way to move it around the lot is to slip the clutch at 4K or higher. Don't even want to think about how much of that goes on for however long they have it and have to move it around before selling it.

Devyl posted:It's kinda controversial, but the 'new' break-in procedure for modern performance engines is to run them hard and let them cool down afterwards. That ZL1 is sick though. I want one! There's a difference between breaking it in hard, and beating the crap out of a cold engine and burning the clutch up in a parking lot.

The girlfriend's 99 Camry. Pretty much an average boring sedan, but I really am a fan of the 1MZ V6. Smooth as can be and really decent power. 120K-ish and still one of the quietest idling cars I've heard. Very few problems in the 9 years we've been dating. Other than an oxygen sensor its all been routine maintenance, oil and brakes.

That looks tons better. I bet I can find some codger on corvette forums to do a swap. Though maybe not, his diaper-dried baby wouldn't be  all matching anymore:
