Jnaut, great choice on the cts-v, and in manual kudos 
RCZ, don't you think you'll be bored driving an auto M3? You've had an STI and 370Z (both manual) why stop now? |
Nah, I don't think so. I think im going to pat myself in the back when I'm in miami traffic and i can throw it into full automatic.

If I ever ditch my Z, it will most likely be for a DCT car of some kind.

Yeah, a whole other league is right, they are so much faster and more responsive.

Make sure you keep us updated on your trip to pick up your M3. Sounds like a blast! Oh and this 'I'm only doing minor mods' thing? We're well past April Fool's Day buddy! Next you'll be trying to sell us the Brooklyn Bridge!  |
Yeah haha, I loved my STIs! You made a good choice although I have not even sat in one of the new ones. If it's anything like my 06 then it must be a blast. Now that's a fun car to mod! Simple bolt ons and a tune and youre at 330whp/340wtq.
I think I'm going to be good about this one Ben, It is a much much bigger monthly payment than what I have now and the new M3 is coming out in 2013 as a 2014 model so I will keep my car relatively stock and easy to sell. If the rumors are true, its getting a triturbo V6 and less weight! The first turbo is electronic...kinda like an SC for the super low end response.

Good luck with your sale and the new ride, man. |
Thanks a lot, man. Yeah, those were happier times when I didn't hate my transmission. Crazy how long we've all be chatting almost on a daily basis.

And the delivery option sounds awesome dude - $4200? That sounds crazy. How much to ship it back to the states when you're done, or is that part of the package also? And why is it so much cheaper to take European delivery?

Agreed, there are sooo many options I'm going to have a really hard time deciding...I was looking at prices too and nothing is less than $2000
