Yuck, Vert M cars belong in Hertz rental fleets.

Woah...fun or rude, either way Id not pay attention OP. Let that top come down and enjoy the song while you write black lines in the asphalt. Recon even easier with a few extra pounds holding back.

Lol I don't take it personally at all. The logic about not getting a vert for street performance, since virtually none of the loudmouths about it are proficient track drivers, applies equally for people who bought manuals - they're noticeably slower. A manual will always be slower than a DCT with the same driver. And, worse yet, a manual E92 is only about .3s faster to 60 than a DCT E93. If it's all about maximum performance, who would ever purchase a 6-speed?

In any case, on the street, there's literally no point in the comparison. And on the track, the pilot is really the main factor - I've watched good S2000 drivers smoke E9x drivers . There are many people here who I am certain I could not beat around the track, but I'm also certain I could beat a fair number of them, even in the E93. Autozeitung has a 1-second difference in the lap times on a 1:40 (E92)/1:41(E93) lap for their test track (4 door is more than 1s faster than the coupe).

I really don't know why people who bought a certain model of a 20k car feel the need to run around trying to prove themselves superior to other owners of a 20k car lol but I also don't have crippling self-confidence issues
