Plus, you just can't beat the sound of a cammed V8

That is a car i almost got into but did not. BMW's are ridiculous in design and pricing. Got rid of 3 pricey BMW's before i realized it was dumb that certain things failed soo early. I was just at that point in my life where i thought i was buying a good car. BMW's drive well but do not hold a candle to it reliability

Had a 2014 Ram express 2x4 short bed with a Hemi. I loved that little truck! was looking at cams, things to make it faster but it really pi$$ed me off.
You would think after all these years Dodge would compete with chevy on the ease of making HP, but no its still a fortune to get the same hp from a dodge that a Chevy can make with nothing more than an exhaust upgrade. I know its not actually Dodge anymore its Ram, so Ram should make it easier to get power.

Far from pathetic if it netted you a 2SS Camaro. I can speak for you as well as everyone else and say that is totally worth it.

Congrats man, well deserved!!!

Very true!
I loved driving the car, but I was constantly paranoid to hear the ding from the idrive indicating a failure.
Hitting 400 ft lbs at 2500 rpm with only a $200 tune was pretty cool though.
Best part is my incoming 13 1LE cost me the same per month and it handles way better. I think the 335 with a flash only on 17 psi will probably beat the 1LE until I do some bolt ons.

So, I'm losing on speed and luxury and gaining reliability and handling.

2004 Nissan Sentra SE/R Spec V. Quite a corner turner.

Here is is at work (circled in yellow). I parked on the street to avoid the dirt, dings, and scratches.
