Fast and Furious Pretend Edition 🤣🤣🤣

So I went to a local mountain range to do a solo fun run. Unfortunately, there were wet leaves EVERYWHERE so I refrained from spirited driving. I just happened upon this spot that was completely free of ANY traffic for about half an hour. It’s a 19 Mk 7.5 thst I just bought 2 weeks ago. Previously had a 2009 M3 (V8 430hp). This car is SO MUCH MORE FUN! Modding will begin in the Spring…Unless, I get a big client before then! I’m not used to NOT being able to hang the tail out. But I prefer the sure-footedness of this little “rocket”. I need to have $5k (engine replacement fund) before I tune and turn it into a Real Rocket!

A 4 banger with a tiny turbo is more fun than a e9x M3? Really now...

Hey-yo!

Yes, ON THE STREET. The Golf has accessible speed! The M3 hits its peak hp at 8200! While fun getting there, it lacks ANY torque. The GTI has similar/more TQ. Plus the M3 is NOT a small car and weighs “about” 600 lbs more. Fill your GTI with people and tell me that the driving dynamics don’t change! On a mountain/canyon run the M3 would probably decimate the Golf if you were timing them. I want to “feel” every bit of G force and not worry about crashing what was was originally a $70k car! Call me crazy!
Example: I got in a a 5 mph rear ender. There was a CRACK in the bumper! It cost the woman’s insurance company $15k and it took SIX WEEKS to repair!!! This is what I had “planned” to get at TWICE the price of the 7.5. I bailed on it, since if a bumper cost $15k I can’t IMAGINE what the bodywork would cost on a one-off “wide body” custom would cost!

I will add, the full second turbo boost delay IS annoying!

Hey-yo!

It was very reliable. 2 main issues on V8 M3’s:Rod bearings ($2500 to replace) and Throttle Accuators (not sure how much).
