I am not a fan of the 3 series, with maybe the exception of the M3, but when this guy dropped the hammer (so to say) I was overwhelmed with how quick that car took off. AMAZING! Especially for what could/ should be considered a family sedan (4 doors)

I think it would be great if MB made an AMG version of their euro V-class van to bring over here. Make it a V55 AMG

How fun would it be to blow a corvette out of the water in a minivan?

Actually, here is what I have most recently begun to covet: http://mallettcars.com/

471 HP/433 FP @ crank, 400 HP at the wheels. This is the N/A. There's an SC model too.

Shit-a-mungus! Around 60k too.

I'm sure it's pretty badass, but I myself am not into domestic rides. Has to be imported for me to buy. Anymore, I have limited myself to what is something worth buying, since more companies are either merging with or being bought out by American car companies.

Imagine if the TSX came with a v8 engine producing more than 400/400 hp/tq.

Hehe, just dreaming..

(Note the parking space ... great way to avoid door-dings!)
