And the Carerra would be PERFECT for any sister or one of her friends..maybe my niece-lol!

I REALLY tried so hard to like the C2S and C4S. I flew back in to Atl on an 8:30 flight, stopped home for 30 minutes and went to 2 different Porsche dealers. I drove the crap out of both cars ALL DAY LONG. I just could NOT see what all the excitement was about. I loved the cars but I just had that feeling of the car "holding back". It gave me that "ugh" feeling. I had a SWEET deal worked out on a gorgeous silver/black C2S with the Aero Cup Kit and HRE P40's (dealer installed) and I just could not pull the trigger. They launched incredibly well but what got mine was when I was rolling 35 mph and stomped on the gas there was just NOTHING. My M cars would WALK all over them. I know, I know, the handling...blah blah blah. I think I am a bit like Dave (prob more than either of us car to admit) in that I love the raw power and being thrown into my seat. With the C4S and C2S it just is not there. I don't care what the numbers are 0-60, etc. If I don't FEEL that pull then it is not going to work. In the end one of the sales guys said "You're not a track guy. You are a Turbo guy. You want to blow past everyone". I said "Yep". He took my email address and said he'd let me know when the first Turbo hit. I jumped in my M5, stomped on the gas and got a huge smile on my face as the tires spun and I roared off down the road....

Hahahaha...Like I said, I guess I am one of those "freaks"!

I think it takes looking at other cars, to make you realise what we have got in the M5. I think, what we have got in the M5/M6 is a powerhouse of a car, at a bargain price. I have recently been through looking at Porsche again, with the GT3, and i didnt order one either. If you are a turbo/torque guy, i feel its hard to go to a N/A car, as you inevitably have to rev the nuts off these to get the performance, whereas with the torque monsters of today, you can just be lazy, and just blow by most cars. I liken it, to a 250cc Motocross bike, versus a 125cc bike, you have to keep the throttle nailed on the 125, but just roll on the throttle on the 250, which makes it an easier and less violent ride than the 125. Its good to look around though, as it refreshes your mind, as to what you already have, if you made the correct decision in the first place. The new turbo will be just awesome, but a new Turbo S over here, will cost me around £75K sterling more than my new M5, and thats just not worth it to me again. Im sticking with BMW.

Yep when you have a good wife that can cook, and makes you happy don't look at the tall thin poll dancer(: The choice can get very expensive on both fronts. Don't get me wrong I love my M5 somedays it's not the weapon of choice. Me and my son are going to Stone Mountain for a nice hike, and the M will get is there pretty quick.

I could not have put it any better. For the money there is simply not a better car than the M. If you are constantly revving that Porsche it can go but it is almost like you are "working" at it all the time. I drove my wife's M6 last night and it was such a blast. In one trip over to Tim's (starchild) shop, I get 2 compliments and a third guy stops in the shop parking lot to take pictures of it. I don't know. I guess I like the attention too!

I only hope I don't like the turbo too much when it hits the streets!

Buy it and take it to RUF in Dallas. They should have their supercharger kit for the car ready by now. Great group of guys.

I flew up to Dallas I guess it was 07-08?? To look at a c4s supercharged RUF that had less than 500miles. Ugly color green but the car put a smile on my face. WOW! I was driving with the mech. he assured me there were no cops... Well we (I) got a ticket. A biker cop was off his bike shooting laser. Long story short I have dreamed about that car many times. Ultimately the deal did not work out. I was looking to lease and their lease guy and I could not come to an agreement. So we ordered a 997.1.

Will bring one of the cars up there to get tuned one day.

When you get it done let me know... I may drive it back to atl for you at no charge you would own a rare car.

Cool dad indeed but I think younger girls/women would prefer M5 than the little toy-looking Porsche. Unless they just want to be "omg i'm in that sports car on TV". I remember embarrassing a 911 Turbo on a highway in my M5 last year, he thought he would teach me a lesson on a highway and that was his mistake

Kinda of disagree with you there women have no idea what's a M5. It's a guy thing for us, and I get looks from young and old in the Porsche. By the way I could care yes because the one I have could care less about cars which is perfect for me. I have said before you can make anything go fast right? I'm not pro or con here I drive both, and they have different purposes. The Porsche is a true track car, and works on the street. Check the lap times on the previous GT3, and the 991S there're almost the same. Enjoy your M5
