Chairs are facing the wrong way. What could possibly be more interesting than what is up on the lifts?

The Fastest Accelerating Cars In The World

cool list..... btw the new NSX is among the quickest cars ever made and ranks right up with the best of them.

Something to think about the next time you feel like bashing it - which, for some people, is pretty much always.

Just as an update. Got rid of the 2014 Mazda 6 touring/tech for the 2014 Chevy SS sedan in Mystic Green. Bought it with 17k on it, so far I'm up to 30k. I love it. I daily drive 75 miles per day with a 6.2 L V8 and dont care. Contacted GM for build data, My car is #5 of 64 built like this. No garage queen here, I drive it everywhere.

Mods, So far I have put a roto-fab intake, Kooks Headers (on the way from being ceramic coated), Kooks mid pipe, and Livernois tuner. Slowly building my LSA supercharger and getting ready to order valves, springs, and other internals plus a cam. Something mild to stay on stock stall. I can't speak highly enough about it. Best choice I have ever made in my automotive life.

Still wouldnt mind a 1g TSX for a daily though long distance.

OMG perfection. If I ever get one I will set it up very similar to this - wheels and tires for sure, probably a dark grey body color.

I remember now, you didn't like the Mazda 6 at all. Funny enough, I had a 2016 as a rental this past weekend and put nearly 1k miles on it. Was just a base model, but I was quite fond of it. I can imagine with the 19" wheels it would be even more responsive. Not enough emphasis can be placed on how nice it handles for an "economy" sedan of its size.

I came close to buying one, until I posted on here and everyone knocked some sense into me. Single, no kids... might as well buy a sports car. But if I needed the space, five seats, and great fuel economy (36 mpg even with LA traffic), I would definitely get one. The steering is very responsive, quick, and direct, but numb. Stupid how you can't get the GT trim level or LED headlamps, premium audio, etc. package with a manual though.

I don't get those comments. 90% of crossovers on the market today are essentially station wagons/minivans with a lift kit.

She hates wagons & minivans, yet drives a hybrid of the 2, heck our insurance even lists it as a wagon.

And wagons are so it's even MORE confusing.

This is from like a month ago. We catched Magnus Walker filming his thing on our usual meet spot in Angeles Crest Highway. He was pretty cool.

OHP: Man arrested for driving 208 mph on Oklahoma turnpike

http://newsok.com/article/5527071

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a state trooper arrested a driver after clocking his speed at more than 200 mph.

The patrol says Trooper Ryan Smith pulled over the man Saturday on the Kilpatrick Turnpike in Oklahoma City. Authorities say the man was driving a Ford Mustang and the trooper's radar clocked the car at 176 mph and then 208 mph.

Authorities say the driver attempted to elude the state trooper — turning off his headlights and brake lights at one point — but he was eventually pulled over at a red light. The highway patrol says the driver stopped his car and dropped his keys out of the window.

The highway patrol says the driver was arrested on complaints of reckless driving and felony eluding.

There's a guy in San Diego who built one of these.

Next time I need some PDR work done, I will definitely hit him up just to see the car

There are a handful of companies out there that will do a M54 > S54 swap on any RWD E46 for ~$5k-$7k including parts. The best way to go would be to grab a good condition MT 323i/325i touring and get the swap done and toss the rear diff in later on.
