Yeah I kind of had the same feelings about my car. You need a "slow" daily driver so you can be satisfied with this car's power. (Otherwise that's how people end up wih 1000hp dailies)

It's funny how no matter how powerful the car, you get used to it and want more. To the point where it's really not usable on the street. I'd reserve something really powerful for a track day car, where you can uncork it at will.

I didn't realize the b58 is still uncracked for flashes but surely it will eventually. Also, a jb4 must bring it pretty close to m4 territory. All I know is the new mustang GT felt slower to me stock, probably because it's enormous and an m4 to me at the time was double the money. I would try a jb4 in your case for sure. You have a lot untapped potential that's there for these kinds of days lol.

It is
And it is. Hard to beat the value of these little cars, but I am with the OP that it does not take me long to get bored of a car for whatever reason. Keep on buying and selling them because it keeps me happy. Maybe one day I'll get to drive a Ferrari and see what it is like at the top of the mountain. Too many people on car forums act like you punched their spouse in the face if you say the slightest negative about whatever is in their garage. |

OP, get a Z06, the M4 will disappoint you based on your experience with the m240.

Get a Z06 though, or an SS 1LE. Both are freaking lunatics. Even get a C/ATS-V Caddy if you want more luxury than a Chevy has |

I test drove the M2 and didn't even consider it an option with the N55. If the M2 CS costs more than an M4 then I guess it's time to look for a lightly used C06 or ZL1 |

My kid is a doctor. He tells me in the E.R., the call those "Donorcycles". However fast that goes, I'm not in that much of a hurry, especially to get to
"the end"!

Someone can always use a kidney or two....provided it's not too smooshed. Just was out driving today and this douche on a Ducati ran a red light next to me...blasted through the red a good two seconds before it turned green. I caught up to him at the next light and pointed out his douche-ness in no uncertain terms.

For a more exciting ride, pick something with more than 300bhp per ton and RWD: http://www.autosnout.com/Cars-Bhp-Per-Ton-List.php. For extra fun make sure it weighs less than a ton.

How is a Top Tier brand of 93 octane gas in Texas different than elsewhere?

Interesting, thanks....not sure that's well-known outside of California. At first, I thought you were suggesting some kind of quality issue, not just limited availability of a different grade of fuel.
