Corvette ZR1 by Geiger (Nov 29, 2012) Chill Logan, a C5 vette is a hell of a car. And actually, Colby if you're reading this, and you live anywhere near Houston, Texas or College Station, Texas...then let's have a little race. Bring your friends ZO6 also.
For Guys Like Us (Oct 31, 2012) Its apples and oranges. They're all great cars, only in their respective niches. But here, in a "pure sports car" article, the 911 comes on top. It's simply the best all-rounder.
For Guys Like Us (Oct 31, 2012) Vipers and Vettes can very capably take corners and have proven this through track times and slalom runs. So let's get that assumption out of the way. Also, while the M3 is a truly incredible car, the Porsche outperforms it in nearly every aspect.
Twin-Turbo V6, Direct-Injection V8 for C7 Corvette (Oct 25, 2012) Congrats on the car, Colby! From what you've described, she sounds like a beauty. But hey we should race sometime if you want to stretch that C5's legs a bit.
Twin-Turbo V6, Direct-Injection V8 for C7 Corvette (Oct 25, 2012) Theres nothing like shredding rubber with a manual tranny.
Ford Debuts New F-150 King Ranch in Texas (Sep 28, 2012) I'm a Texan, and so I see King Ranches all the time across the state. But just out of curiosity, is the king ranch sold outside of texas? I mean does anyone else see them at ford dealers in their state?
Lamborghini Unveils Updated Gallardo in Paris (Sep 28, 2012) Really? I love the rear, it's imposing and that quad exhaust is pure sex.
Non-Italian Exotics: Porsche Carrera GT (Sep 25, 2012) Yeah, that seems to be Walter Rohrl. Perfect person to be driving this beast.
Salon Prive 2012 Supercar Spectacular (Sep 06, 2012) This is where it's at.
Corvette Takes On Ferrari and McLaren (Aug 31, 2012) Zach, just let it go man. He isn't worth it. If you want to have a collected, respectful debate over these cars then I'm all for it. Just hit me up whenever you're back in town from UT.
Next-Gen M3 to Have 450 Horsepower (Aug 25, 2012) According to what has been stated: the new M3 will not feature a manual transmission, will not have a N/A engine, and will not be offered in a coupe. If all that is true then this is a sad day for an M lover who remains commited to the basics.
Motor Trend Announces 2012 Best Driver's Car (Aug 23, 2012) Connor, drive one. I doubt you'll be saying that after you get out of it.
Schwarzenegger is Back - and Driving a Camaro ZL1 (Aug 23, 2012) Just one I tell myself I'd be content with a GT-R at the age of 35...this bad boy pops up.
America vs. Germany: CTS-V Takes on M3 (Aug 23, 2012) Zach, why so much hate towards BMW and specifically M? My car hasn't had any problems whatsoever, 70k miles and going strong. Just take care of the scheduled maintenance and you're golden.
Kid Crashes BMW M3 into the Rocks (Aug 23, 2012) He was a young guy with means to some money. He used that money and bought a great car to take to a challenging road to mash around like an M3 is meant to be. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but seeing as though we're car lovers, whats the problem?
Kid Crashes BMW M3 into the Rocks (Aug 23, 2012) But as for the "spoiled" comments, wheres everyone getting that from? He clearly felt remorse after the crash, so no snobbish attitude. Driving a nice, fast car doesnt automatically make you spoiled. The term i think is better is "fortunate".
Kid Crashes BMW M3 into the Rocks (Aug 23, 2012) Wow...R.I.P. to the M3, but good thing no one was hurt. That speed he was going, along with the lack of knowledge for those roads could have had a way worse outcome. He just needs to be thankful that airbag deployed and the road was deserted.
Porsche 911 Evolution: Type 997 (Jul 06, 2012) This is absolutely beautiful.
Top 5 Hottest Car Wash Commercials (Jul 02, 2012) And that would be Sara Underwood. Ex-Playmate of the year. Hellz yea, I approve this message.
Japanese Tuner Icons: Nissan Skyline GT-R (Jul 01, 2012) (I love american cars) But I can hardly think of anything to come from the states during the R34's era that can top it. So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna keep my boner out.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4 (Jun 20, 2012) But I'm just a fanboy with a disappointed, broken heart. But anyways, sorry for making too many comments. Just my two cents. For those who agree...I'd actually like to know I'm not the only one.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4 (Jun 20, 2012) I really appreciate the alcantara wrapped cup holders and the massage for my butt cheeks...but wouldn't bigger brakes be a better place to start improving from the old 3? Or maybe more horsepower? 300 to 300...huge gain. I know, I sound like a bitch.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4 (Jun 20, 2012) Traction control? It's there to help, not do all the work. So take the current steroid injected system and go back to the DSC with 2 settings...ON/OFF. Finally, please oh please BMW...invest time in the things that really matter.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4 (Jun 20, 2012) In my perfect world, the new 3 would be what it once was only better. There would be no turbos, only NA, eliminating lag, adding to the engine note, and getting rid of overheating issues.
Motor Trend Compares BMW 335i Against Audi S4 (Jun 20, 2012) Wow, hats off to the S4. Great job from Audi. On the other hand though, why BMW? Why must you take the once soulful and exhilarating 3-series and dullify it with technology that only hinders it?
Look and Listen to the Best Cars from Houston Coffee and Cars (Jun 16, 2012) Alright I so I was in vintage two weeks ago just to see the FXX. Team Ferrari said they would fire it up for a bit so I got front row seats about 5 feet behind the tail. A few minutes later...I was deaf and drenched in sweat. Car nirvana.
2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Coming with 450hp (and PDK only) (Jun 08, 2012) For me, a track day isn't a success when I've gone a half second quicker than the other guys transmission. It's when I've felt a proper connection with the car and had the euphoria of being in control. That's driving, that's what's really special.
Super Car Club Event at the Shanghai F1 Circuit with Five Ferrari Enzos (May 28, 2012) Drag them. Drag them now.
Super Car Club Event at the Shanghai F1 Circuit with Five Ferrari Enzos (May 28, 2012) So this is what heaven looks like.
2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Looking Hot in Hypothetical Form (May 24, 2012) Wtf is this? It looks overweight. I really hope it retains the sleek, elegant look of every S-Class to come before it.
2013 BMW M6 Convertible Poses in the Cali Countryside; Abuses the Track (May 24, 2012) I see this individual has beverages.
2013 BMW M6 Convertible Poses in the Cali Countryside; Abuses the Track (May 24, 2012) A lot of cars should get used to seeing that.
Say It Ain’t So! Fox Marketing’s Lexus SEMA Cars Destroyed (May 21, 2012) Not a crack at anyone, I truly mean that with respect. But as you don't have to respect "Lexus", you do have to respect "416bhp".
Say It Ain’t So! Fox Marketing’s Lexus SEMA Cars Destroyed (May 21, 2012) I guarantee you, if you woke up to an IS-F with your name on the title in your driveway, there wouldn't be any complaining. Besides, as much as I hate to say it, it probably performs better than anything anyone here drives.
Say It Ain’t So! Fox Marketing’s Lexus SEMA Cars Destroyed (May 21, 2012) I don't get the "it's just a Toyota" argument. Toyota is a very well respected manufacturer and Lexus has been giving BMW, Merc, and Audi stiff competition for the last decade and will continue to do so.
MegaGallery: 40 Years of BMW M (May 19, 2012) E39 M5, oh man, I should start a family so I can have a valid excuse for four doors. This is what the M5 is all about.
MegaGallery: 40 Years of BMW M (May 19, 2012) Graham, yes, it is a masterpiece. They really are the last aggressive looking M car so I couldnt agree more on the E46.
Playboy Lists their Top 25 Postwar Era Cars (May 14, 2012) Hefner himself has this, so I think it's inclusion on this list is pretty much mandatory.
Supercars Unite at Washington’s Redmond Town Center Exotics (May 13, 2012) Jesse, we get it. And I mean this respectfully, man. It'd be good if you cut down on the advertisement of your dads car.
Supercars Unite at Washington’s Redmond Town Center Exotics (May 13, 2012) Give me this, a great track, plenty of fuel and tires, and you'll have one happy camper.
Carroll Shelby Passes Away at Age 89 (May 12, 2012) And so starts the final chapter of such a legend.
Nissan Juke-R to be Limited Production, Built-to-Order and Priced at $590,000 (May 11, 2012) Haha lawrence, do you like chevy? Because you listed the only two Chevy's I'd buy.
BMW Tease M3 & M5 M Performance Editions for the UK (May 09, 2012) Levi, you own an E46 M3? Well done, sir, well done.
Watch a Pair of Ferrari Enzos Destroy the Montlhery Race Track (May 07, 2012) Aaron this car isn't some child's toy. It requires skill, experience and focus to drive correctly. And if he doesn't do that, he could see himself going into a wall or guardrail and that's not going to be cheap to fix.
Watch a Pair of Ferrari Enzos Destroy the Montlhery Race Track (May 07, 2012) To have to pick between these two would be one of the hardest decisions. Both are so great in their own ways.
Watch a Pair of Ferrari Enzos Destroy the Montlhery Race Track (May 07, 2012) Look, a 360 Modena! Where's that one kid who's dad owns one?
Watch a Pair of Ferrari Enzos Destroy the Montlhery Race Track (May 07, 2012) David's right, there have been other girls. Although Skye probably has some of the best taste on here.
For Sale: 2005 Saleen S281 Mustang (But it’s Cut in Half) (May 07, 2012) Oh no more cup holders? Good luck selling it now.
Corvette, Viper, McLaren and Maserati Crash on Same Stretch of Autobahn (May 07, 2012) It hurts to look at this.
Top Gear’s Richard Hammond Reveals His Top Ten American Cars (May 07, 2012) Well hello there, sexy.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) I don't know about anyone else, but none of these 90 comments have given me any reason to believe the M3 still isn't the best car in this argument. No need to troll, no need to hate. Drive one and you'll know.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) The 328i is a great car with practicality, fuel efficiency, and sportiness to match. But when a "douchey" BMW is brought up, the low end 3-series is usually what's mentioned.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) Deutschdroid, I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that I myself think the 328i is a douchebags car. I was saying that rather than the M3, the 328i is perceived by the general public as a douchier car due to how it's oriented.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) Disclaimer*** these are simply my opinions and feelings. Please do not feel butthurt, as I state them with respect towards everyone else's.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) That feeling of euphoria from the moment the tachometer starts moving and the smile that never leaves your face. So don't be fooled, there's a legitimate reason the M3 has been the benchmark for all these years. It's simply, the best.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) The M3, is not a douchebags car. No man buys an M3 for the leather wrapped cup holders or the parking sensors...and they sure as hell don't buy it for the badge on the front, they buy it for the letter on the back. So what does that letter even mean?
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) Secondly, the argument that M3s are driven only by pretentious douchebags. There's a special car for the "douche", and that's the 328i. "Cool" enough to call a BMW, and yet fuel efficient enough to get him home to mommy and daddy after a long trip.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) Firstly, do not disrespect BMWs straight six. It has won dozens of "engine of the year" awards, and combines everything one needs from an engine in today's era. That is; tunability, a high rev limit, great sound, fuel efficiency, and reliability.
Let the Countdown Begin: 2014 BMW M3 Rendered (May 02, 2012) Alright, let me start by saying that I respect both the CTS-V and Mustang 5.0 immensely, and that I would own either in a heartbeat, but after reading all these arguments I just had to say this.
BMW M3 E46 by G-Power (Apr 29, 2012) Oh daddy<3 My two favorite things, a high-revving inline six, and a fat supercharger.
BMW M3 E46 by G-Power (Apr 29, 2012) Matte black grill and side vents, carbon splitter, carbon roof, tasteful headlights...this is well done. Just take the decals off.
BMW M3 E46 by G-Power (Apr 29, 2012) Zain, I prefer the E46 to E92 for a variety of different reasons. But 186mph is great out of basically a bone stock car.
Raging Bulls Stampede in Houston - International Lamborghini Festival (Apr 29, 2012) He's like "Yeah all this right here makes it go fast. Any questions?"
Police to Auction $1.6m Ferrari Enzo Left to Rot in Dubai Dust (Apr 24, 2012) Hey Dan, how about before you jump to conclusions and make racist, ignorant comments, you actually read the article. Because last time I checked, British owners, are from Britain, and Britain isn't in the middle east.
Police to Auction $1.6m Ferrari Enzo Left to Rot in Dubai Dust (Apr 24, 2012) This has to be a joke."yeah I abandoned my Enzo after the parking tickets became to much for me to handle."....please, dude, let me take this burden off your hands.
BMW M Evolution, Part 6: The M3 Receives a V8 with 420hp (Apr 22, 2012) Alright Kenneth, so two GTS's. Does anyone else want one? Might as well get a life sentence while making at least a few people happy.
BMW M Evolution, Part 6: The M3 Receives a V8 with 420hp (Apr 22, 2012) You're probably right. Murder is pretty frowned upon.
This is Money: 2012 Top Marques Monaco Official Pictures (Apr 22, 2012) This, this is good.
BMW M Evolution, Part 6: The M3 Receives a V8 with 420hp (Apr 22, 2012) I would kill for this GTS.
BMW M Evolution, Part 6: The M3 Receives a V8 with 420hp (Apr 22, 2012) That's a beauty.
BMW M Evolution, Part 5: GTR and CLS Packages Made the E46 M3 Even More Special (Apr 21, 2012) Hp numbers and 0-62 times are a great way to win an argument. But to win in a race, its how this car performs in the bends. A perfect 50-50 weight distribution and the LSD really sets it apart and hardly any set of numbers can tell you that story.
BMW M Evolution, Part 5: GTR and CLS Packages Made the E46 M3 Even More Special (Apr 21, 2012) Everything great you've heard about it, is true. Putting it in neutral and lifting the parking brake lever is literally the hardest part of my day.
BMW M Evolution, Part 5: GTR and CLS Packages Made the E46 M3 Even More Special (Apr 21, 2012) God that street GTR looks like a complete beast.
BMW M Evolution, Part 4: The Next M3 Was a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing (Apr 20, 2012) The inline six remains in use to this very day. A testament to how solid a foundation it sets for refinement and innovation.
BMW M Evolution, Part 3: The First M3 - And With a Four Cylinder Engine (Apr 20, 2012) Those are great choices, Zain. Work hard, and you'll have them in no time!
BMW M Evolution, Part 3: The First M3 - And With a Four Cylinder Engine (Apr 19, 2012) The birth of a legend.
Lamborghini Fire Truck by Martino Auto Concepts is a Quick Responder (Apr 19, 2012) Meanwhile, in little Italy....
New Color and Options for 2013 Chevrolet Corvette (Apr 17, 2012) Yeah, what did ever happen to Mr. Madison? Him and his ZO6 just vanished.
Red Bull Up for Sale - World’s Only Red Lambo Murcielago SV for $380K (Apr 15, 2012) To me, there's nearly nothing wrong with this car. But if it was a proper manual, then it would be perfect.
Red Bull Up for Sale - World’s Only Red Lambo Murcielago SV for $380K (Apr 15, 2012) You could put a small child in that exhuast.
Top Ten Most Manly Cars (Well, Male-Dominated) on the Road Today (Apr 09, 2012) Automotive porn.
Top Ten Most Manly Cars (Well, Male-Dominated) on the Road Today (Apr 09, 2012) It's remained a proper, 6 speed manual for years, resulting in a masculine transmission. It's synonymous with words like precision, dynamic, and thoroughbred resulting in masculine performance. And in the end, it's simply a drivers car.
Top Ten Most Manly Cars (Well, Male-Dominated) on the Road Today (Apr 09, 2012) To say that this is a car that is sometimes driven by a woman is understandable statement to make. But to say that the car itself is feminine, is not. There is nothing "Girly!" about a 911.
Happy Easter; Now Listen to These Camaro ZL1s Rev Their V8s (Apr 08, 2012) Quad exhuast>Dual
The Super-Rare BMW M3 E92 GTS and M3 E46 CSL Chill by the Track (Apr 06, 2012) Absolutely, but in order to do that you have to be humble and respect the car. That's what ultimately separates you from the standard BMW douche.
2013 BMW M6 Convertible Makes World Premiere in New York (Apr 06, 2012) Thank you, patrick. Someone had to say that.
BMW Display Frozen Monte Carlo Blue M3 at NY Auto Show (Apr 06, 2012) Chris, you've only ever seen one M3?
F.A Porsche, the Designer of the 911, Dies (Apr 06, 2012) "And here, my friend...in the rear, we will place the heart and soul of what will be an icon for half a century. Whether it be N/A or turbocharged, this car will push all boundaries and challenge the status quo, setting the bar for what will come."
F.A Porsche, the Designer of the 911, Dies (Apr 06, 2012) I can't imagine a sports car world without the 911. So thank you, Mr. Porsche. Your ingenuity will be missed and may you rest in peace.
2013 BMW M6 Convertible Makes World Premiere in New York (Apr 06, 2012) Nick, I can't say I agree with that. There's just nothing like naturally aspirated exhaust note.
2013 BMW M6 Convertible Makes World Premiere in New York (Apr 06, 2012) Also, to compare this to a CTS-V or GT500 makes little sense. The intention was to make a great touring car, with extraordinary power, that offers luxury throughout. So the American beasts, while great, are in a totally different class.
2013 BMW M6 Convertible Makes World Premiere in New York (Apr 06, 2012) Let me give my justification for the cost. First, it's the most exclusive series that BMW produces, second, it was handed over to the boys down at "M" and third, it is a convertible. Add it all up and you're looking at why this may seem "Pricey"
The Super-Rare BMW M3 E92 GTS and M3 E46 CSL Chill by the Track (Apr 04, 2012) Well there you have it, that explains the love for BMWs haha
Video: Bikini Babes Get Dirty with Donuts & Milk for Scion iQ Campaign (Apr 04, 2012) Really don't care about the car, but pink bikini is pretty good looking.
The Super-Rare BMW M3 E92 GTS and M3 E46 CSL Chill by the Track (Apr 03, 2012) Domi, yes I am. How do you know that...
Motor Trend Takes a Corvette ZR1 from Munich to Maranello (Apr 02, 2012) I have so much respect for the ZR1. And I really cant see any serious reasons why someone would dog on it. So well done, Chevy. Keep engineering beauties such as this.
The New BMW M3 to Get a V6 Engine and Twin-Turbo (Mar 31, 2012) Guys if you're going to try and make an argument than at least make sure what you're saying is accurate. Not trying to point anyone out, but just double check if you're not sure bc it saves a lot of confusion for people that just want to learn.
The New BMW M3 to Get a V6 Engine and Twin-Turbo (Mar 31, 2012) The 3.2 liter Inline-6 was by far the best establishment of fuel efficiency, performance, and engine sound. I think BMW should take that platform, turbocharge it, perhaps make it larger, and base it with an aluminum block rather than cast iron.
Video: Nissan GT-R vs Porsche 911 Carerra S Track Battle (Mar 29, 2012) Two incredible cars! The new 911 is already growing on me and I respect that Porsche is one of the few companies that still offers a proper manual. One complaint though: evo should wait until the new GT3 comes out. That'd be a much better race.
Secret Supercar Meet in UK is a Dream Gathering (Mar 29, 2012) If you're defining a supercar based on performance alone, then the ZR1 is most definitely a supercar.
