I'm not really into the modding thing. I don't want to void my warranty, and tuning an engine just seems like asking for trouble, to me anyway. It's already pretty damn fast, do I really need it to be faster? Plus I have my M4 for that!
I wouldn't say an M4 is fast. When these new ones get tuned and the aftermarket grows, then yes. So many cars come with the performance of these new M's. I'm still sad about the numbers for the new ones. It has almost the same numbers as my 2010 GTR did! 11 years later and that's the best we get? I think my best time was 11.9-11.8 on the 20" run-flats. So yeah, I have seen 11.6 for the new M, so A tad bit faster. I was just expecting more. Lets see what the AWD models do.

I mean, it's pretty damn fast...faster than 90% what's on the road. There is always gonna be something faster, and my M4 makes me smile when I floor that accelerator, that works for me.

90 percent? Where do you live? I mean, yeah if your talking about every mom and pop driving around. But , if you show up to a meet or a local race spot, its not that fast. Camaro's , Cadillac's Dodge Srt's, Vette's, couple Audis and so on. It's quick, but lets not get out of hand

I'm talking about while driving around, it is faster than 90% of the cars I see, at least. Yes that includes every mom and pop, hence the percentage. I'm not talking about at a car show. But so what?

I'd rather have a 'slow' M4 than any of the cars you mention, whether they are faster or not. You are telling me you'd really rather have a Corvette than an M4?! I don't care if it's faster, lol.

No need to justify your purchase. Not everyone likes it...and guess what? That's OK.

I have never been a fan of Vette's! But I'm waiting to see the Z06. If i like it, I'm either getting that or an RS6. I need a new project/build. I'm leaning towards the Audi just because you won't see many of them. The Vette and M4/3 will be everywhere=(

Going mid-engine was a genius move, I will say it instantly makes it more desirable....I just can't see myself ever driving a Chevy, LOL.

I hear you. But that 9000 RPM Flat plane may be hard to pass up. We will see. Plus, it should look way better with wider fenders and more Aero

I can not take him serious unfortunately. Even if he drives a bicycle his mouth is on his ears telling how great it is, how special the acceleration and braking. like in this video, while being seriously humiliated by audi ( i dont like audi at all, not a fan boi here) he is still smiling, commenting such a nice car, as if it is doing great.

it has been months since car was released and unfortunately we still do not have a proper suspension, handling and gearbox, low range torque review. Only thing we have is "great, marvellous, outstanding, unmatched"
