nonwithstanding the fact that cD is figured heavily past 120, also any weight. But.... with the right gears I could get the 'tour to 160, might take a good 3 mins to get there though. Just an idea. BMWs...haha...they are a joy to maintain.


98 CSVT, basic mod's, my slowest car yet but still faster than the wife's Talon Tsi AWD. Not by much, though. Now if I could get the back wheels to do something....

Yep, that's one of the reasons I decided to cancel my M3 order. Found out the motor has solid lifters eek and requires valve adjustments every 15,000 miles eek

That, and all the problems I've been hearing existing owners having, and I decided to pass. The Corvette just won JD Power's Initial Quality Award for sports cars, and its set up to be very low maintenance. The most costly maintenance item will be replacing the tires (295s aren't cheap). Plus, the Z06 smokes the M3 in just about every performance test, yet I will be picking it up for $6,000 less than the M3 would have cost me.


'96 Contour SE, black / opal grey, MTX, every option, KKM intake, resonator removed, Flowmaster Series 40 DeltaFlow, GoodYear Eagle HP's, 115k miles, new paint 7/01. Driven cross-country 4 times.

'70 Corvette Stingray Coupe, Cortez Silver, 454 bored to 462, Muncie M21, too many mods to list, lots of fun. 335 rwhp / 365 rwtq

'02 Corvette Z06, Electron Blue / Black, every option. Stock for now...
