The M3 is not my benchmark for anything. I don't care if it weighs 2,000 lbs.

I thought you would be amused to hear that the Hummer battery (just the battery) weights 2923 lbs. That's a biscuit...

I get all tingly when you talk power-to-weight. That's really my thing. But I would like to know at exactly what speed aero effects kick in. Any aero effects. Every time I see a road car roll by with...

I can't wait until they work the bugs out of this one. More power was the #1 thing that this buggy needed. NA power, not FI power, please.

Duly noted.

I think the mid-'80s Porsche 911 was 2.8 liter. Around '87, it got as high as 3.2 liter. Your point is well-taken.

Is "bland" the word you're looking for? :D
