The steering in the old BMW M cars (as well as many cars of that era) were superior due to the hydraulics used as opposed to the electronic ones we have today. It's one of the biggest selling points for me on the new Lotus Emira as it employs hydraulic brakes.
A good indy mechanics shop, some...
I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of the Vegas track, it's a bit too simplistic and I think it's idiotic when they chose to run that race. Vegas can be nice in November, but there are certainly nicer days right after their race in Texas and before heading south to Mexico and Brazil...
Maintenance and reliability are always something to consider with any 20+ year old vehicle, it's not unique to BMW. The good thing is that there is a lot of data, how to videos, and aftermarket solutions to known issues. While it is certainly hard to find a clean early 00's BMW M3/5, it isn't...
If that's the manual on the new M2, it's no better than the previous version. I do however wonder if the manual in the new BMW Z will be the same as the Supra or if BMW will just keep their so-so manual tuning intact.
(also note, if you want the best manual on the market it's likely either...
Agreed, and that's how I felt and why I was attempting to put a deposit down a year in advance. The local dealer here actually owns multiple dealers in the region that sell Supras so they should have access to more. They don't sell all that quickly in his market either, they had a manual black...
Is the authors opinion "spot on", we should tackle this question head on. So he said the old Comp M2 is a league above the current Supra. I think context is needed. If he means that it's an easier car to drive, he's likely right, the Supra is more twitchy and can bite, so the M2 was a bit...
Oh man, if Prismatic Illusion Purple is an option on the non-special edition Supra I'll be all over that. I'm trying to cross off colors from my bucket list and Purple is still on there and not easy to cross off.
If the current colors are all that is being kept, I'll settle on the blue. I...
I tend to think McLaren's performance is the real deal. Much like the end of last season, the pack is starting to close in on Red Bull. I don't think it's necessarily that RB or Max/Checo are in a slump, I just think the others are advancing at a bit higher rate than them, and there has been a...
So desperate for good racing I watched the Formula E race this weekend. The winner passed on the last lap, clean racing, all podium positions fought for right up to the end. So much better than what F1 has offered in the last year and a bit, and that’s incredibly sad. Went a bunch of dyson...
Checo has done this in the past and well. Not last season or this one, but that's because there is little need or opportunity. Prior to that he would hold up drivers all the time to the betterment of Max and his team. It's one of the main reasons why Max won his first championship.
Two things, no one is saying that Max or RB are cheating. From where I sit they are within the rules.
Secondly, Lewis joining Ferrari next season, likely will mean very little to Max or RB. It's clear that RB and Max in particular are so incredibly beyond the rest of the grid that it'll take a...
Not that it would ever happen, but could you imagine if drivers were preassigned to a team for each race. So the 20 drivers, 10 teams, 20 races, each team would get each driver for two races.
It would truly showcase just how big of a difference there is between drivers, and you'd see which...
Oh you aren't bursting any hope, I'm pretty sure everyone outside of Max/RB fans are hoping for something to change. It wouldn't be so bad if Max was actually racing beyond a handful of laps in the first half of the race. It's been rather poor action so far, so we all have to hope that it'll...
Yup, it's not the best when your main storylines and best action come far away from the podium spots. I just hope it doesn't keep this way or I honestly think that F1 will feel momentum of new viewers cease and could see some regression in viewership and interest.
If this is a repeat of last...
I'm working with the dealer here in Fredericton NB to "order" a MT Supra. I'm about 12 months out from the ideal buying point for me as my Civic won't be paid for until April 2025. But I could make the money work a bit before then if need be. I'm giving them specific instructions on when the...
For sure a lot of Max's dominance and consistency is from his abilities, no one is questioning that. He's an amazing driver, and likely the best on the grid currently. But F1 is a team sport, you must have a good pit crew, good strategy people, and one of the most key variables is the factory...
I tend to think all this gossip of Max, Jos, Marko, RB, Ford, and Horner is all a distraction to bring some much needed entertainment to a sport that is lacking that on track. Ain’t nothing going to come out of all this. Max will be with RB, Horner will be with RB, Jos and Marko will continue...
So I was not logged on and noticed that Danny is still quoting my posts and spewing his Max gossip. Glad I can just log in and not see any of that garbage. The best decision I ever made was setting it up that I don’t see his posts. I highly recommend that to others who aren’t so fond of his...
