Went to Nebraska for some freshly husked corn...

You need to start practicing yelling, “You kids get the hell off my lawn!” :slight_smile:

I’m also interested to hear what you think about it after having a chance to drive it on clear roads.

What do you move onto after this a Hover round or Rascal?

congrats baby

looks like i’m off the hook for driving to our bridge game. pick me up around 430?

I always knew you were really a 60 year old redneck. :smiley:

I will be the only Democrat at the V meet except some GM Union employees who got it at a discount :lol:

Nice btw.

Needs moar M1. Clean car too :tup:

Nice ride. I wonder how quick it really is with the weight AND power. Did you race your own TBSS by any chance?

Not yet but I will before the month is out. It is definitely faster from a roll. 70 more HP and less weight so it should be. From a dig i think it would be a matter of whether it got traction or not. Supposedly they run low to mid 13’s stock. Also def more of a Benz type ride than a Bimmer type. Suspension has “Competition Mode” to stiffen it up but havent tried it yet. It’s sitting in my garage while I do axis spins in the TBSS today.

In case you haven’t seen it.

Really curious how bad the depreciation was from that original 78k. PM me if you don’t mind sharing.

It must be a PIG if it’s only running in the 13’s with 400+ hp.

How’s your new hip doing?

4343lbs. That’s a lot of car.

I don’t care what you say, 470 hp is a lot of power too.

Do they do programming, pulleys, etc. for these things?

X…

Yes they have a reflash available, and a smaller pulley but it only adds 2LBS. Not worth it to risk the warranty. Supposedly there is another one coming out from Spectre that is supposed to be a lot better. Stock compression is only 9:1 so the potential is there. The biggest problems with them I guess are heat related…a CAI can add 30rwhp! if I mod I would probably only do a CAI, intercooler upgrade, and a reflash, possibly one of the mean sounding catbacks they make for them.

that interior is beyond horrible, but the HP is an undeniable plus…

Exactly my thoughts. I will have to sit in it and do some heaterz, while doing a heater I will determine how I feel about the interior. Many hp is always fun especially if you can get it well into the 500s cheap enough. For the price though it is deff a great value.

HP is good, but a mid 13 1/4 mile in a 400+ hp leaves a lot to be desired

I actually like the interior in person. Million and one features that I didn’t have in any of my previous vehicles. I’m sure the button layout and such could look better and they could do less plastic, but oh well. More of a concern at 80k than <25.

Would you be happier doing the same et in a lighter less powered car? I know personally it doesn’t matter to me, mid 13s is fun for a daily and I am sure this car cruises oh so nice. My M5 is 400 and only does low 13s and is also my favorite car I have ever owned…by far.
