remi race his car at mission??? i have never seen this with my eyes!! i have seen him there tho! lol
I have so! You were there! I ran the black one the night your turbo colt's starter died, remember how on the only decent launch I got I blew off an intercooler pipe at 20 psi at the 1/8th? (and still beat the sr powered s13 next to me haha)
I ran my white one a few nights too but you must have been busy putting groceries into the back of your saturn or minivan or something: I even have Video proof! This was the run I made after listening to john and turning down my poor stock turbo. Front mount and a cheap 3 inch with some crush bends in it were the only mods and it was only 12 psi.

Dude not bad! luxury is nothing to poke fun at. lol I love the interior in wagons too. enjoy your hallway on wheels! must drive super smooth. how is it in corners?
Who said anything about poking fun at luxury!
I'm getting older, and with that comes the wisdom that it's nice to drive to work without losing my hearing, or hurting my spine over potholes
There is a reason I parted with that monster you own.
Besides when it comes to the business of driving I'm really not missing anything (gonna brag a bit here...)
In terms of driving feel it's better than my 325is if you can believe that. The steering wheel has this perfect weight, it's hard to describe it. The body and suspension are actually quite rigid, none of that american style luxury where you feel like you're on a boat.
As Kris mentions the rear suspension is hydraulic- in fact it's the same same setup as in the same (First) generation M5. PIA to upgrade, but hopefully it will handle pretty well on its own, as it does have a sport mode of some sort.
I got to see this new beast today. It's truly a sweet car. The V8 sounds nice and I'm jealous of the massive sunroof bit. This car even has some type of hydraulic rear self-leveling system.
I'm trying to convince Remi to join me in a track day at Mission with the estate cars.
I can't wait to get some real summer rubber on it, pull out the excess weight and take it around the auto-x...
We need to have a battle of the touring titans. (Thats right it's "touring" not "estate", damn Vdubbers...)
