Another great review that makes my mouth dry as I read it. My favorite line

"there’s genuine shove from 2000 rpm, the advanced electronics altering the intake system, fuel-injection mixture and valve timing to help give it the sort of bottom-end savagery to make the old 3.2-liter six seem ordinary"

This is the sort of stuff you want to here when talking about a newer generation of car.

certainly more positive than some of the other stuff we've been seein

nusevad · 07-06-2007, 02:03 PM

Now that is an article worthy enough to read.

Epacy · 07-06-2007, 04:57 PM

Interesting. In this article, they state it has twin piston calipers. Clarification anyone? Steved?

The CSL · 07-06-2007, 05:26 PM

I was interested in the 19s being made by Fuchs and not BBS, ala the CSL wheels.

mkoesel · 07-06-2007, 07:46 PM

He said they had the 19s, but someone had said earlier all press cars had the 18s.

Inevitably they are very powerful, but were not entirely confidence inspiring.
