i agree with most on this thread... the r8 is a better looking car than the m6. i've never driven either... but the r8 appears to be a well balanced car (performance, interior, etc...).

 

It's not so bad for those that plan on keeping them

What's up with your choice between getting a CTS-V and a Bentley Continental GT! That seems like a big difference in riding style.

 

Speaking of CTS-V, R8, and M6, here are some Ring lap-times:

8:09 --- 151.66 km/h - BMW M6, 507 PS/1761 kg (sport auto 12/05)

8:02 --- 153.99 km/h - Audi R8, 420 PS/1620 kg (AutoBild sportscars 11/08)

8:09 --- 151.66 km/h - Audi RS4, 420 PS/1728 kg (sport auto 06/06)


At the time, the RS4 was the fastest 4-door sedan (beat the mighty E60 V10 M5 by 4 secs and posted identical time as the M6). Now the CTS-V is sub 8mins, which means it beats the R8...

8:13 --- 150.43 km/h - BMW M5 (E60), 507 PS/1844 kg (sport auto 12/04)

7:59.22 154.70 km/h - Cadillac CTS-V, 550 PS/??? kg,

 

I am planning to take my car down to take it to the next level ( twin turbo)

But I need something to drive in the mean time I was pretty set on the CTS-V. But after driving my brothers GTC I really fell in love with that car, and I just saw one with 8,000 miles on it for $75k

So if I can get the Bentley and do some simple modifications to get it to about 650 hp....that might be a choice worth looking at!

 

What year GTC did you see for 75K and 8 thousand miles?

Sorry it was a Continental GT Coupe 2004

 

Yeah 04's are pretty cheap now. You can pick up 06's with 15k miles for 90k. I would go that route before buying a 04.

FYI. the GT is an amazing car. I have done alot of mods to mine it's an 07 and I would tell anyone who is interested to buy one. An amazing car.

Any idea what power your GT makes with the mods?

 

I have not had the car dynoed, but when the giac chip was put on and the exhaust I was told the HP went from 552hp to 652hp.

In terms of driving the car is fast!!!

Yeah my car is quite a bit faster than a GT Speed even, but it can't even hold a lugnut to the Bentley. What an exquisite treat of a car, my brother was the first one ( allegedly ) in the country to put a GTC on 24's. No one would do them and he found a tuner shop that measured and had them fitted.

 

 

First and hopefully the last.
Looks ridiculous, kills the ride, saps power...

Those in 22'' would be plenty, IMO.

 

That thing looks terrible imo. :/

 

It's a Bentley, its all about excess. The same response that Chris Mills Phantom Drophead got. Haters quit drinkining

 

Why drive around in the same car like everyone else has, there are alot of Bentley's on 22's. Same thing I heard on the Range Rover forums when looking for rims everyone was saying get 22's. 24's won't fit no one has done them it will rub. I went with the 24's, and guess what now one is on 26's? If you aint pushing the envelope you aint pushing
