You can bet if I was trying to pull a Moneyman, it would be with something more exotic than a 335.

50/50 water meth mix for now.

Also starting to run some e85, I need to get the dyno soon. Hoping for 450/500awhp and close to 500ftlbs but that might be too optimistic.

Life gets boring with cars when you're fbo and have nowhere else to go

That's exactly what my boost targets are, give or take a 0.5psi, on my MS6. The K04 is considered a smallish turbo too and people boost that no problem on the Speeds. Please TT, go to the dark side of COBB tuning, you won't regret it.

I go on vaca for a few days and come back to five pages talking about another major change. Congratulations Tim.

You just proved that printed specs do not equal driver experience. The German driving experience is difficult to beat. Looks like you figured out A cost effective way to enjoy it and I hope you continue to do so.

[sigh] Had to drop the 335 off at the BMW dealer this morning for an adjustment to one of the convertible top latches, and saw my M5 sitting out front of the Porsche dealer next door where I traded it in, so I had to visit it briefly:



There was a 430 Scud sitting behind it :

oh I see. I think I'd be sad to see my Supra (that I sold 8 years ago) even today.... lol

I generally don't get attached to things... but that car.... was an exception...

oh my gosh that reminds me... I had another vivid dream last night that I got my Supra back.... wow it was so real. and it was so amazing.. I remember dreams like this 2-3 times a year; it likely happens many many times more than that but I usually don't remember...

Don't get me wrong, I still feel sick at losing this car (literally). But, I'm starting to accept the fact that it's not coming back...stages of grief, and all that.

That's my hope. There are plenty of garage queen E60 M5s out there. Someday, I might be able to have a second car like that. I'll be looking for Indy Red again, though.
