We should all get back to discussing the use of the word "meh" instead
Coldlist, just like you did a U-turn on your views on the M5/M6, in the future (after having bought a new Ferrari with RWD or a 911 GT3) we can expect you to come back and praise the thrill and fun driving a good RWD car provides. And that AWD is soooo for the geriatric and clueless Just kidding of course |

Driving a RWD car during the winter really gets you working on your reactions, throttle feel and steering input and correction. AWD and FWD is much easier and safer for the average driver, since oversteer is a non-issue. But you can basically just get in the car and drive away without any need to get a feel for the available traction or whether you need a more delicate throttle input. On a RWD car, you immediately get feedback that you need to be precise and delicate with throttle input and steering corrections etc. A AWD car would be quicker as it manages to get more traction during acceleration and at certain points through a corner. But the RWD car is much more involving, demanding and fun (all IMHO of course) |

Since I got called "Eurotrash" and "Eurobankruptcy fail" by the OP, I found this article in the NY Times quite interesting...

I have no issues with RWD. How did it turn into that? I was just acknowledging that the M5 spins tires. And yeah, my overall view of the car changed in terms of my own enjoyment once I found the RWD C2S. I realized that I preferred the sports car feel more. Might not be for everyone-just my preference. I am getting old. No argument there! Nope. Unless I move to Austin I will cancel the GT3 order. Going there this weekend to check it out. I will keep it if I move there so I can take advantage of COTA. Otherwise, my NEXT car will be the AWD Huracan (quite a geriatric car huh?). I already have the deposit in.

I figure for rainy days I'll drive it. I don't want to be slipping around in the M6.

That's the main reason I sold my M3 and went for the RS5. Couldn't put the power down with the M3, off the line and corner exits, the car was going nowhere. And the M3 got about half the torque you guys have on the M5, don't want to think how an M5 would struggle with traction.

No need to end every post with "just kidding", as we know you are not. Oh, and if you would rather not be called a socialist (psst, we all know you are), you probably shouldn't quote the NY Times. Jeezuss. But why is that exactly what I would have expected. Just scroll down to the "other" headlines. What a joke. Last edited by BMWonlyZone; 04-22-2014 at 11:37 PM.. |
