I'd take it and put it in the 190 2.3-16 if the shipping wouldn't be a fortune, one rare high power 4 cylinder for another is ok, right guys?

Fortress TB posted:The "Ford mechanic" you are referring to has a lot of memorabilia in his work shop from pretty much everything. He builds custom hot rods and restores classic cars. I think the fact that there were two other corvettes in there at the same time should assuage any fears. I wonder if they're any better at working on them than GM mechanics

Ah Mexico Blue, I'll bet that would look good on an M3. Also Xeno does a good job of, entirely by example, explaining why I forewent an F355 for the less flashy but infinitely more reliable car. In other news, San Francisco MUNI trains are constantly breaking down with electrical problems and sometimes catch fire. One can observe the Pininfarina badge on the inside of any of them

Not to make you feel bad or anything, but the TT is exclusive of the Castro here in San Francisco and executive assistants. One of my co-workers was driving his wife's TT (granted, it was the fast one) and was quick to explain that his car was being worked on. Hopefully that's not such a universal thing where you are, and I do know what you mean about how they are inside.

kimbo305 posted:It's always the stock tires that ship with the car, right? It makes sense to some degree, that if you make a performance car, you're picking a tire to go along with it, and the car can be reviewed as such. This probably explains why Evos fare so well in tests

Are those using a DSG style trans finally? I remember their earlier e-gear setup on the Murcielagos burning up pretty fast. In fact I remember having to push one onto a flatbed :\

Imperador do Brasil posted:It's not so much about the gearing because at 75mph it's only turning 1700RPM, but it's electronically limited to 155mph. Luckily, there are very cheap handheld tuners that will remove the limiter. Unluckily, there's nowhere to do 155+mph in the US other than a racetrack anyway...Still, I see your point. That's not entirely true
