I rag on BMW owners just because of the douche bags most are. BMW's use to be good cars(my gf likes them) in that their base cars handled/steering feel was better than some competitors up-level(e.g. found this out while shopping for a Lexus IS350 sport & base BMW 328)cars.
Modern BMW's don't...
Those BMW M3/M4 guys need to get over themselves. A 2018 GT+(especially the A10) just lays waste to them. Most of the time they don't look my way, and when they do, it doesn't end pretty for them.
I hear the 2022 with the pig nose grill has 503 hp and is 1 or 2 options away from $100k...
I love sleepers too. One of the greatest things about America is the car in the lane beside you might not be what you think it is.
A "less" sleeper story:
A few months ago, on a Saturday night I pulled up to a CTS-V Cadillac with 1 heck of a lopey idle big cam and drag radials-on the street...
Coming home last night I was in the left lane of 3 lanes on the highway cruising at 75(ish)mph in a 70 mph limit. Noticed a CR-Z Honda 2 seater in the middle lane and about 10 cars ahead of him was a Honda Insight @year 2000. This is the first hybrid Honda with a 3 cyl. 1.0, 67 hp and weighs in...
As long as they are in front of me, that's all that matters. Somedays on the highway a fair amount of people pull out of the left lane when I approach.
Probably because mine looks like this:

You might want to look into Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires. While not a drag radial, it was much better on my car than the original Pirellis. Take a look at this article for the traction difference: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a35031049/bfp-2019-ford-mustang-gt-by-the-numbers/
They should be giving away a GT350 instead seeing as how production has now ended. And because I am being greedy-Ford should give me the money to pay the taxes too.
Yes, it's a genuine Ecoboost HPP. I walked around the car and looked inside before I took pics. Everything points to a genuine HPP. I haven't checked, but I am not sure if you can even get HPP fender badges from the dealer yet.
Just thought it strange he would put Mach 1 stickers on the...
Although I am a Ford man, I keep track of the competition. The ZO6 is the flat plane version NA. The ZR1 is supposed to be a flat plane with twin turbos(or that 's what the rumors said). I have to admit that the C8 is the first Corvette I have seriously considered owning as a Ford GT will never...
That Corvette is sure consistent-but at least you got him. The rumored flat-plane/twin turbo upcoming Corvette should run in the 10's from the factory.
Maybe then Ford will finally offer the Coyote Ecoboost(twin turbo Coyote)
I could do it for you this coming Saturday around midday. But you will have to contact the dealer to arrange it and let him know I am there as your friend-and I am not signing anything.
Let me know if there is a particular driving dynamic you want me to focus on.
I was southbound on the Florida Turnpike by Okeechobee Road in Miami this past Monday, looked over to the northbound entrance ramp and saw a Dodge Challenger painted in FHP colors(black and brown). He was facing northbound just waiting to catch unsuspecting drivers. This portion of the highway...
