I want to cry. Man... That's so... Wow.

Memo · 07-13-2004, 05:45 PM

Not digging the outside look at all. But then again I don't have the money to buy one so who cares?

SnowSurfer · 07-13-2004, 05:46 PM

i like the outside, the grey interior

. black is better

Nanotech9 · 07-14-2004, 07:30 AM

notice the paddle shifters

ArkiStan · 07-14-2004, 08:18 AM

The side view looks mean. Otherwise, hmmm....

SmokeyDP · 07-14-2004, 08:32 AM

It looks sick.

Sounds like its kinda low on torque for a V10 though...

It has 76.8 lb-ft of torque per liter.

The mighty Viper SRT-10's V10 checks in at 63.3 lb-ft of torque per liter.

Heck, the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale only has a hair more, 77.0 lb-ft at 4750 rpm. Of course, at 425hp and 3.586 liters, it has 118.5 hp/liter, which is nice.

Hard to get much more than that out of a normally aspirated vehicle. Doable, but not easy.

Showtime · 07-14-2004, 01:00 PM

And that 100+ hp a liter is also pretty impressive.

yea i'm with you on that one

Realrammstein · 07-14-2004, 06:30 PM

I love the tech, but the exterior is too understated for me IMHO (not aggressive enough looking for the "M" badge).

Airencracken · 07-14-2004, 07:01 PM

It's cool, now turbo that s**t.

And put some altezza lights on it and a big wing in the back...

you made me actually visualize that.

Airencracken · 07-14-2004, 09:13 PM

actually a little wing (a tasteful one) would look nice.

550 Nm of torque and 8500 rpm.

Beautiful... Horsepower with meaning.

Tommy Boomfiger · 08-09-2004, 12:51 AM

I first read that as 550 Nm of torque at 8500 rpm and thought, damn, you have to be drivin that thing like you stole it to get that much torque. Then I realized I have no idea what 550 Nm of torque is. I dont even know what Nm stands for

. But yeah, 8500 rpm is a lot

Ok, I cant find what Nm stands for except nanometer, but I know thats not it. Could it be newton meter?

Tommy Boomfiger · 08-09-2004, 01:07 AM

BTW, 550 Nm torque and 8500 rpms are for the tranny, the stock engine produces 520 Nm torque and redlines at 8250. That means if you want to tweak the engine to get more than 30 more Nm of torque, youre gonna need a new tranny, which might get a little difficult. Maybe someone can snag one from BMW Williams
