BMW forum trash talking and Drag race vids...

Nissan has turned the Nurburging into a joke with the way they play it. What do you mean BMW doesn't have one? The CSL lapped in 7:50, same as a facelift carrera S.
That was a previous generation platform The GTS would of course be faster around it.
Like I said, Porsche has a higher spectrum of performance cars. It makes it all the more impressive that a less powerful "sedan" can hang with and beat some of them, eh?
Porsche is reaching the end of the 911 platform and everyone knows it. They even know it. The Cayman would run circles around it if they let it happen but then the 911 cash cow would be dead. Purely a business move and not one that is the best for the enthusiast. The 911 is kept alive and not surpassed as a business decision, not because it is better.
It's all good, it is not like I checked with your approval before making my purchase. I don't expect you to need my approval before making yours.

Zr1's are fast. Here is a bone stock won destroying a 400k+ Porsche.
I guess this means Porsche sucks..

Glad to see you came to your senses, Sticky.
Remember - You don't need to prove to anyone here your car is special, as long as it's special to you, big guy.

So now we are back to the better all around car
You didn't say anything about North America, you said BMW has no cars running under 8 which was incorrect. Next time be more specific so you don't have to backtrack.
Even if it does, it won't matter, since it won't be in North American and all.
Almost as embarassing as a dedicated sports car getting taken around the track by a sedan, eh?
I like it here, some of the most experienced and well informed enthusiasts I have spoken to in a while. They just happen to be the BMW owners
The CSL was never sold in N/A, which was my point. BMW has never sold a car in N/A that has run under 8:00 around the 'ring. Didn't know that, huh?
Until it does, 'of course' doesn't mean a thing.
No, because the less poweful sedan is still slower than the slowest of the 10 with 8:00 or under 'ring times...and that one weights 4,000 lbs. Embarrasing...
Good. Then I guess there's no reason for you to continue trying to prove to us how awesome BMW is, is there?

No one said BMW sucks. You're self-esteem can remain intact.
And yes, ZR1's are very fast.

Who wants to bet that if I ask the Carrera GT owner if I ask him is that a great platform if you only value straight line speed he will say no? Who would rather have the ZR1.....Not I....

Good night guys, I am going to go to sleep on my soft BMW pillows to await the REM powered by a tightly wound small block V8.

Are you crazy man?? The Zr1 is a far better car, its stock motor can be modded easier then the stock motor of a carrera gt.

ZR1's are better performance wise then a carrera gt, their stock motors can be modded easier with bolt on's.

Not at all. To me, "all-around includes" performance. Maybe not to you, though.
See that "NA" below? That stands for "North America". If I didn't write it early enough in the paragraph for you, my bad. I guess I gave you a little too much credit.
So, as I said...BMW has never sold a car in NA that has gone faster than 8:00 around the 'ring. Porsche has sold over 10 since 2000 or so, and they even have a 4,000 lb sendan that is faster than all NA BMWs. Yes, truly embarrasing.
You consider yourself well-informed? You don't even know that fuel injector is a bolt-on mod!
You didn't say anything about North America, you said BMW has no cars running under 8 which was incorrect. Next time be more specific so you don't have to backtrack.

Wow low 8's .....for $22k....it kind of makes you rethink things........
I guess the E9X platform is not such a good one for going fast in a straight line.
