I understand that, but I am not talking about the pile of shit cobalt I am referring to my friends ariel atom with the 300hp ecotec s/c motor in it. If this was about integra's and cobalts I wouldn't even be posting in this thread...

Well, since I just got the new Tahoe 3 months ago and have a whopping 2200 miles on it.....

In all seriousness, I am going to drive the 135i next spring and, if I like it, I expect to order one soon after and trade the Tahoe in on it.

It requires 91 from the factory but a reflash ups the boost among other things.

Typical 2.0t dsgs dyno about 185 whp/195 lbft wtq stock.(A bit underrated from the factory) With a 91 reflash you typically see about 210whp and 240 lbft wtq.(dynojet numbers.) With a 93 reflash(which I don't have access to living in cali) you typically see another 5-10 hp and 15-20lbft of torque.

Apr rates their 91 reflash as 246hp/282tq at the crank with 93 rated at 252/300tq at the crank. Giac and revo are the other big tuners and offer gains that are very similar.

Its auto and has rust. Not worth putting money into which is why i really havent. It was a good "learning" car though. Its for sale if anyone wants it.

Plus its not a M635CSi

I test drove an 07 LS460 tonight. I felt like I wanted to be in my high 40s low 50s and had white hair to justify the purchase of one to teh wife. The blend of comfort,refinement,ride and performance blew me away.+ it was white on beige interior.It really is that good.

Well really the 240sx and Sc300 are cheaper..which is honestly all ill be able to afford for a long long long time seeing as i just started college and plan on going into dental school which would put me about ~100k into debt

Nice but i have awhile till i buy it. I will either get a M635csi or a M6 depending which i can find cheaper.

Either way im getting one with a M88 or S38 motor. My heart wants the M88 motor though.

Really. That's interesting. I kind of like the TT, but always kept it to myself b/c I didn't realy think it was a great car. Maybe I'll have to look into the new one...

I hated the previous TT but this new one is so much better. Audi hit a home run with it in my opinion.

The only problem I see is the $$$. If you start to load it up a little bit, it ventures into a different price range where there are many other options to consider.

I totally agree. The TT makes a ton of sense when it is the "value leader' but not as much when you can get a 335 for or even a new s5 for similar money.

For me this was not a real issue as I was always looking at the 2.0t for the tunability and sub 3000lb curb weight and it also just happens to be the cheaper model. I also didn't go crazy with the options; jsut premium package, xenons and 18s with summer tires. For that price it's a similary price as a comparably equiped 328.(sub 40k)

I find the exterior(quite subjectively) and the interior(less subjective) to be big upgrades over the bimmers. I am definitely paying a premium for the uniqueness and style but for me it was worth it.

I need something fun to commute in (~30MPG) so I'm thinking MINI Cooper S or Acura RSX-S.

Hopefully I'll pick up an S2000 to have lots of fun with in the spring.
