Do know that the guys who buy M5s dont really keep them that long. They tend to dump cars quickly. Rich people problems.

Must be. The facelift helped, but the car is still about 20% too large for what it should be.

The current TL looks like two bars of soap melted together.

I agree that it's too large. I like the size of the 3G TL more.

This sounds like beating a dead horse, but the 3G TL with the 3.7L, SH-AWD and 6MT would be perfect. Only because I'm not the first one to say so

I saw one on the road about a month ago. Not bad from the front but the rear is boring.

the Agera I posted previously in here (in the cargo bay of a 747) is now in Cali. It is the first Agera registered in the US.

oh you're right. I think I got the word wrong, I think the blue one is the first federalized Agera in the US.

I believe you're right as it sounds like the white one in California was here thanks to Koenigsegg & the owner working out a deal.


Too bad the owner was a dick & tried to pin Koenigsegg as being a company incapable of delivering to his high standards.

Z06 looks fantastic... Interested to see what transmissions they'll use. Does GM have any automated manuals?

You can see the paddle shifters in the leaked photo:



<strike>I *hope* they also have a MT option but I think the chances are </strike>

http://jalopnik.com/2015-corvette-z0...out-1499947862
In addition to a seven-speed manual transmission, the Z06 will actually be offering an eight-speed automatic, as well, in the form of the 8L90E.
will have to see whether this holds true but it sounds promising!

I can think of so many other ways to spend $8500, but that just seems too awesome to pass up.
