367hp, supercharged + turbocharged 2.0L engine.... crazy. sort of want :dunno:
Re: Automotive News Discussion - Apoc - 04-11-2016
I wanted one, until I actually sat in a V60. The driving position is terrible.

Fuck magnus walker and his horrendous taste.

you might be the one lacking taste.
Re: Automotive News Discussion - G.Irish - 04-13-2016
I'm kind of meht about what Magnus Walker does. Some of the cars look kinda cool but not a fan of him, especially since he chooses to drive like an idiot on the street (and almost got decapitated doing so).
Porsche tuners are in this order for me (from cool, I'd buy that to -> nope):
Singer
RUF
Techart
Magnus Walker
Rauh-Welt

Re: Automotive News Discussion - ScottyB - 04-13-2016
i like the cars, and you have to admit he's a marketing genius. i don't see it as much different than RWB....they're rich boy street cars masquerading as racecars with the paint and mostly fake aero
Re: Automotive News Discussion - Mike - 04-13-2016
right, lose the red bumper and i think it's okay, no?
look, I'm not saying the guy does the best porsches in the world. in fact, the hot wheels article is the first time i had ever even heard his name. i think it's cool that hot wheels is doing "tuner" cars beyond fast & furious.
Re: Automotive News Discussion - G.Irish - 04-13-2016
Yeah without the orange bumpers I would like that car much more. One question though, have any other 911's come from the factory with the hood stripes like that? I ask because the 991R has them and I can only really recall Magnus Walker cars having those stripes. Was Porsche inspired by Walker when they put those stripes on the 911R?

Re: Automotive News Discussion - RawrImAMonster - 04-13-2016
Seems like most reviews are consistently preferring the M2 over the M4. In the hands of Randy Pobst, the M2 was actually quicker around streets of willow (more technical, but not as fast as big willow).

Re: Automotive News Discussion - G.Irish - 04-14-2016
I kinda figured the M2 might manage to be very close to the M4 on tighter tracks but being actually faster is a little bit of a surprise. Seems like more than one outfit feels like the M4 is tricky to drive at the limit, which negatively affects the lap times it can put down. The F80/F82 is still significantly faster than the E90/E92 but it seems like BMW could stand do make some improvements on the handling front.
Great news for the M2, great value for the money if you're set on buying a luxury performance car.
Re: Automotive News Discussion - rherold9 - 04-14-2016
Lol @ the bmw tax. $52k? Why not just buy an RS for $10k cheaper? Just BMW things I guess :dunno:

LOL at comparison. $52k is awesome for a fun RWD high-ish horsepower car. Comparing it to an econobox chassis is just... :lol:

Why buy a Focus RS for $42k when you could just slap a turbo on a Civic for $35k less?
Re: Automotive News Discussion - rherold9 - 04-14-2016
Because the new RS chassis is just an "econobox" chassis....... :thumbup:
