E92/E90 m3’s are still gorgeous cars even by today’s standards. I just wish the v8 had more tq. I’m very underwhelmed when I drive them in stock form. Tune and a Dinan underdrive pulley really wakes them up. ---

i have the ESS supercharger on it… but you’re right, the TQ #'s are underwhelming. the sound however… with the dinan catback… imho, you cannot get a better sounding street car with reasonable manners. ---

Best sound out of that car was a catless x pipe with the muffler mod. Close to F1 sound. ---

I was surprised at how well the value of the CTS-V3 are holding. I anticipate the CT5 Blackwing will be a quick collector especially if it has a manual. ---

Damn. I hate that interior choice and the kit looks terrible IMO even if it’s factory. But someone sure loved it. Now how do you insure that? Or do you never drive it again? ---

Could you get an appraisal and insure based off that? I like the look of the CR, but I also am not a fan of the seats. That was what came in the CR though if I recall. (Only that color seat regardless of exterior color) ---

100%. Usually the deal with most older cars. Thankfully newer cars now seem to come with better options from the factory. I also agree on the 300zx IMSA car, I definitely owned that on GT2.
