Coworker bought a brand new gt350 two years ago, he's on his 4th engine. Oil consumption has been out of this world, about 2 Qts every 500 miles or so, on all 4 engines lol, has tried to get ford to buy it back but its been an uphill battle, other than that he loves it.

Last year my buddy traded his F80 for a GT350. I finally got to see it a couple weekends ago. Sounded insane! Huge upgrade sound wise over the F80. Oh, yeah, it was fast too.

Thank you! I have a few track days at the end of the month, so I am looking forward to really putting it through its paces and having some fun with it. Quote:
It isn’t for what it is, however the lack of torque contributes to it feeling slow and just getting used to it during ownership. Quote:

Not really. I wouldn't call it fast by todays' standard, but I wouldn't call it slow either. With a bit more torque from primary cat delete, I think the car is more than adequate. Yes, you have to work for it (i.e rev it out), but that's the whole idea of these older M cars.
Honestly, with a manual gearbox, I find it far more engaging than pretty much any current M cars out there. 9 years of owning the car, and I never thought it needs much more power than it has. It's just not the point.

I assume you mean the S65 in the E92: because it is.
Need to add a SC to keep up with the other engines in the E9X platform. If you like to track the car it is the better e9X engine.

I've been sitting here, cash in hand, for over a year now waiting for word on the C8 Z06. Latest news is that it's delayed until 2023 due to the fact that GM can't even make enough of the regular C8s to meet demand. At this point I'm sick of waiting for it and I was ready to move on. Here in Canada we have a new luxury tax coming into effect on January 1st that is 20% of the value of a new vehicle over 100k and that's a pretty big number. Not sure how appealing that Z06 is going to be with all that extra tax slapped on.
In desperation, I have tried to locate a Porsche Cayman GT4 allocation but I basically get laughed at at the dealerships. Most won't even return my emails. I've extended my search to other provinces even though that will subject my new car to additional sales taxes, which would still be preferable to the incoming luxury tax. It's starting to look like I'll never be able to upgrade the m4, regardless of my desire and financial ability to do so. |

This is exactly why I’ve now bought two X5 50i in a row. I’m going to savor that twin-turbo V8 insanity while I still can. 15 MPG be damned.

I have a M4 convertible and an 911 997s C2. I have never owned a V8, so I was thinking of getting a manual V8 RWD car. I was going to get a Ferrari 360 manual, cause it was about $100k (USD), which is the difference between the 997 911 and 911 GT3. Then, here in Australia, the prices just went up 30%, so manual 360's are about the within $10k of a F1 430's. Been looking at manual E92 M3's - they were like $25k USD a year ago, now a decent one is $45k USD. Then, that gets me thinking, do I just get a DCT... ? Or just get a Mustang, but we don't get it with the Voodoo motor over here... But to answer the OP's question - yes, I want a final V8 for once in my life |

I miss my "slow" E93. I sold it in Texas and I am tracking that it is now rolling around the Ann Arbor area with relatively low miles. I would love to get it back.

How are you tracking the location of your old car? Carfax reports? Tracking device under the rear bumper?

Apparently my 12 year old E93 only has its mileage in the low 50k range now. I ordered when I was last stationed in Germany, so my "slow" E93 did see a lot of autobahn runs prior to me selling in Texas when I returned to the US. If fate ever allowed me to buy it from the current owner, I would be rather happy....
