Let us know when you get it and what you think of it. It may put the M5 to shame. "What" thing? OK, you can call me a 'dumb ass' one time. This thing: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-revi...ngs-we-learned As soon as I saw it in Road and Track, I thought of you. It is a beautiful car. Naw, no interest in that. Although I can appreciate their quality and engineering, I got over my attraction with BMW's and Porsche after having them for a while. High maintenance and service centers are not always local to you. Better off with a simple Ford or Chevy that can be repaired by just about anyone. The new Ford F-150 engine is impressive. Tiny little 2.7L V-6 that develops 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque. Here's a video where they tested it towing 7,000 lbs up a 6 degree grade against a Dodge Ram with the eco diesel and a Silverado with a 5.3L V-8 towing the same load. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n2uEx8CojE |
