Ha, I say drop the pants and count the lipstick marks, let's see who's actually "WINNING"!

Regardless what car you drive ... Do you get excited to drive your car each and every time? I was always excited to drive my S4. It brought loads of happiness.

I'm glad I'm feeling the same way about my 1LE minus hill assist and skip shift.

I sorta chuckled and took him outside and then introduced him to my 1LE. Then I pulled up the lap times on the internet and showed him where his cars ranked against my SS that cost 1/4 of what each of his did. He just stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face.... WINNING!!! Im now sitting at home laughing about it. Just thought I would share my story...

Camaro SS 1LE 3.01.5
BMW M6 3.04.7
BMW M5 3.05.2

Don't you ever tell your boss about that conversation with your customer .
One of two things will happen
1--- He will never be back at your shop for anything

2--- He will buy a Camaro , and will drive by to show it to you

3--- He may buy all what he needs to improve his Ms performance from you
Then ask you for a weekend at the race track .
In this case you will keep your job , but will leave you
With a bad taste in your mouth ( green soap )
So either way you loose .

I respect BMW's, however I find them steril and boring. They provoke no emotion or passion in me. Sorry. Go 1LE!

The only boss I have to answer to is married to me.

1--- I am the boss.. And trust me he will be back. I am considered a professional in my line of business.

2--- He has one. 69 camaro with an LS swap.. Pretty nice car, He Bought it, not built it.

3--- He is blown away that my measly 40k car can pretty much compete with all of his on a track.

Im ready for track day. I hope that I dont disappoint him to bad.

Yep, Sounds like i'm losing..

335i and M3 are the only one's I would consider. For a sedan the 335i is a pretty good buy overall, it costs a bit more than a CTS or A4 or Ford Fusion.

While I agree many BMW drivers own them for the badge, the fit and finish of the vehicle from my experience is pretty high and very quiet vehicles. The M3 just screams and is a pretty good track vehicle, the price is a bit high and hopefully rumors aren't true with it going to a V6 next model.

Is that how long it takes for your turbo's to spool up?
If you were to bring that Overpriced Euro car out here, Im pretty sure you will beat me in the standing mile. But then again, Thats not where these 1LE's are at home at. Then we take it to another track out here that you might of heard of... Hallett?? Then we can take turns of who drags who's a** at Blah Blah track. Pretty sure you just showed how big your penis is...

Thats what I was going to say, when your alkintg about a 3 second gap with a 'professional' driver that can be easily closed once you let the general public race each other. haha

Also, whats an SS time on one of those tracks? I'm curious cause apart from looks a 1LE doesn't seems much different, I can see where GM would charge 3500 just for the appearances wheels that were more then that alone, a black hood - which older uninformed people may see as a unpainted hood most notably seen on rust buckets, black spoiler and ZL1 exhast.... EDIT: forgot het chin spoiler and suede steering wheel very performance oriented

I don't hate BMW but that fact that their fastest model doesnt look much different from their cheap sedan doesnt particularly appeal to me. That is why I got a camaro and not a BMW

Turbo? What turbo? All motor V10. 0 -60 you lose. 0 - 100 you lose. 0 -200 well...you can't hit 200. What's with you and penis's? . Purpose built BMW track car M3 gts vs 1L3. Learn more about cars and less about penis's.
