Didn’t read all the posts here but I lemoned out a 2013 gt500 with 1500 miles on it due to repeated clutch and rear end issues. Each state has very specific rules as to what qualifies a car as a lemon (going to the dealer 3 times for the same issue, or being in the shop for a period of more than 30 days). I paid $200 for a lawyer to draft a letter to Ford and they accepted the car as a lemon. Pretty sure I got just about all my money back, but it took them a couple months to come get the car and give me my money.

Love my tuned rs7. I’ve Had it for 6 years, but I don’t drive it a ton. When I do, I enjoy destroying most other cars on the road Cheers Kirk

Love my bendpak 9000. Can’t help on the install as it was installed in Wisconsin. I’ve owned it for 10 years not a single problem

I’m diggin it. Miss my vette

My vote is for the gtr. Audi’s, mustangs, bmws, corvettes. They are all common. Roll up next to one at a stoplight and there’s no knowing if it’s a 200hp 16 second rebadged a4, 6 pot mustang, or base c6 driven by a 70 year old geriatric. You see them everywhere. I don’t think the R8 will be fast enough for you. Gtrs are rare. If you look it up, you’ll be shocked at how few have been sold. Roll up next to one at a stoplight and there’s no denying you’re going to get raped unless you’re in something special. The car still gets more attention than I’m comfortable with. Look up the website speed by design. The owner Chris Riggs is a good guy. You can get turbos and supporting mods to take a gtr up over 800-900 hp for a fraction of the cost of other companies.

Gtr—as much as I’ve considered selling this car, nothing I’ve driven is so completely easy to leave cars in the dust, stoplight to stoplight daily driving in any weather. I drive it all year long—run e85 all summer, 93 in the winter. It’s a bottom 10 car on the corn with full bolt ons. I haven’t had to do much maintenance in 30k miles of ownership. It’s a decent daily depending on your commute S6–add rs7 turbos and you can have a mid 10 second ride with the dsg. My buddy had a heavily modded s6 he drove over 100k miles. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed dailying my rs7 Rs3—weirdly, you can get a brand new leftover ‘19 for bottom $50’s with an original msrp over $65k. These cars have some lag, but can easily make well north of 500whp on the stock turbo. They are light— around 3500lbs and feel about half the size of a Dodge Charger. On e85, you can get well into the 10’s with the stock turbo. Swap in a turbo and beef up the dsg, and this car will go 9’s all day. Not much sounds as unique as the inline 5 screaming wide open. I’m a huge fan of this car, and you just don’t see a ton of them

I miss my c6z. Had similar mods and moved out like few cars can, even to this day. Congrats. Enjoy it dude

Don’t have the ‘04 cobra, ‘05gto or ‘87 fox i had when i joined. I’ve gone through a fair number of cars, but still have an Audi rs7, Audi rs3, ‘13 gtr, raptor, ‘85 fox, and navigator. I’ve got 1000 other cars I’d like to own and drive, but work and kids take up all my time.

Played a terrible game, left at least 14 points on the board, and gave up 2 turnovers for 10 points. A few flashes of brilliance here and there, but not a good game. Yet the game was never in question. It just wasn’t. This is a game they would have lost easily the last 2-3 years.

Pilot sport 4s But as stated, 40k miles is fantastic for those. I got about 15k miles out of the 21” tires on my Audi.

Didn’t read any of the above posts. Back when I was in grad school I was out with a bunch of buddies boozing it up and a bum came up to us and asked us for a dollar. One of the guys in our group replied “shit, I was going to ask you the same thing”. This line is the quickest, coldest, most efficient way to deal with these people

Damn.

Stage 1 e85 can be done on the stock fuel system Stage 2 e85 requires a downpipe and bigger injectors Bigger turbo and you need to upgrade the fuel pump I’m surprised the stock system can support e85

Thanks guys. I had originally traded my c6z for a Chevy ss, which just wasn’t fast enough for me, so I traded for the hellcat. I didn’t like the fact each car was getting bigger and less like the vette, and I’m not ready to buy another 2 seater yet—gonna wait for the c8z, or an exotic in a couple years, once my girls start driving and I’m not constantly lugging them around.

Just wasn’t driving it enough. The roads are already cold here and the charger was simply a burnout machine most of the year even with drag radials. I wanted a smaller, awd car with potential. Decided to get a 2019 rs3. Checked off all the options except the driver assist package as I hate Audi’s adaptive cruise. The car comes with 400hp/350tq stock, and weighs over 1000lbs less than the charger. Right now the car has catless midpipes, FMIC, intake, turbo inlet, and a stage 1 engine/dsg tune for 91 octane. Plans are for stage 1 e85 this year, stage 2 next year, and eventually big turbo and 9’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a badass truck. Sucks about the raptor. I had my 2013 gt500 lemoned out—wonder if that would have been an option. Loving the hellcat though Congrats

bimmer is nutso. can't imagine that beast with downpipes, race tune, and a drag setup. could be looking at 9's.

Glad to hear this news. Good luck on a speedy recovery

Running is my stress reliever. Never would have thought that, as I hated running as a kid/young adult. I have to get 30-60 minutes of cardio a day, or I’m cranky. I’ll usually run 8 miles on the treadmill or bike/run. I try to lift 2-3 times a week. Getting my second half marathon of the season tomorrow

Been following this thread, lurking. Thoughts and prayers sent. Thanks for all the updates

Paging dr Rick................

Yeah. I’ll wait a little while to buy one.

Nothing more satisfying than getting a zero-ish mile car up to operating temp and beating the piss out of it
