@marcnobel3938 4 жыл бұрын

I think the car is really cool but I guess you need to take a look at your current spoiler set up for some adjustment. The rear Spoiler looks (from the given camera angel) not really placed in the most efficient way. It seems like you have left and right roughly 5 cm working surface and a middle section which produces just drag (the place in between those "vortex generators" at the end of the roof). Repositioning the part could work wonders (just guessing).

There's a reason there are so many of these on the Nurburgring and it even set a quicker lap time than E92 M3 there. This is obviously made for the track, do try the Trophy R or non R, or even the 265 that's not been fettled so much if you get the chance.

I have a stock RS250. Most of his complaints relate to the modifications done. Just be sure the door locks unlock and lock (actuator issues) and that it gets to operating temp just below half on the gauge (thermostats get stuck open and they are a bitch to replace - intake manifold off), the car won't let you thrash if it cant get hot enough and will limit RPM 4-5k. Theyre high mile 10+ year old cars now so yes it will have small issues here and there but its still worth it! The drive is amazing

I love the fact that someone is willing to spend that amount of time andmoney on a hatchback, but why wouldn’t you just buy a track car? Ariel atom, lotus super seven or even a Porsche GT product? I mean the amount of money you end up losing on something like this is just astonishing!

This is car Michelle Rodriguez woud certainly prefer to Jansen Interceptor she didn't like as she said it didn't match character she performed but was forced by movie producer....BTW...several times I thought about how it would drive remaking BMW M6 like this....throw all luxury and unnecessary away and replace everything possible with lightweight replacement....

This car has excellent reliability and a bullet proof engine. They're the majority of cars that go sub 8 at the ring. Plus if they do go wrong or you crash they're cheaper to repair than the German equivalent :)

Is it preferable to sink thousands into a car that will never be the value of what you’ve put in, or is it better to buy a car that you don’t value at all?
