quote: Well Dangerous Dave I am back riding, working and walking, we sold the M3 and our weekend toy is now am F360 Modena, love it besides 4 alternators in 600 miles, and no, definitely NOT worth it compared to an M3 or an M5. But so cool...  Everything 100%!!! |

Sweet CAR!!!!!!!!!! My friend almost bought one of those Ferrari's too, but went for the new Lamborghini Gallardo instead....thats a Sweet ass ride too, he also has an M3 and an SL55 and his favorite car is still the M3!
You still have the STXR? I sold mine.....im actually boatless for the first time in 8 years, was gonna buy the RXP....till I rode one....WHAT A P.O.S.!! I will either wait for something new, or buy another STXR in the spring. 2002 Canadian Novice 1200Ltd Champion |

1989 Ford Taurus SHO. The one with the 220 horse DOHC Yamaha engine in it.
  Here's the Yamaha engine in my motor compartment:  Rick 97 WaveVenture 1100: "Dr. Phil" Doctor, I'm in need of therapy |

Impressive looking engine!!!

quote:No, hahahaha!  BUT it does have two sets of intake runners per cylinder. The secondaries open up at 4000 rpms. Not as slick as BMW's latest continuously variable intake but then again Yamaha had a dual intake runner system before most other manufacturers. Redline is a bit over 7000 rpms. These engines can run at redline all day long and they keep on going. I've got "only" 184,000 miles on mine. There's a guy in texas who has been towing his 3000 lb boat since he bought his SHO new in 1991. He makes sure to hit the rev limiter at least once a day. And he's up to 290,000 miles on the original motor. I'd like to see the M3 motor match that! Actually, there's no way the M3 motor can match that kind of durability because it's output is just too darn high! What I like about it is I didn't have to buy an SUV, just a class II trailer hitch for $113. And I get 22mpg towing. When I'm not towing I still get 22 mpg because I'm driving faster. Now that I've impressed you with the merits of my car, wanna trade? Rick 97 WaveVenture 1100: "Dr. Phil" Doctor, I'm in need of therapy |

It was worth a shot.
BMW M3 is truly one of the finest rides on the road. Definately one of the best, if not the best, example of an automobile with a useable backseat and trunk that caters to the true sports car enthusiast. Personally my dream car is the Boxster S. Not the best value for the money. The M3 definately has it beat there. As does the Corvette. Lol, two totally different cars. Kind of like saying a Husky looks like a wolf and a German Shepherd Dog looks like a wolf but a German Shepherd Dog most definately does NOT look like a Husky. Ah hell, I'm drunk on cheap red wine (South Beach Diet allowed!!! ) Here's another pic of my SHO's motor at 150,000 miles and an hour of cleaning with pennzoil steam premium in a can and the good 'ol garden hose.

Both sexy as helll. dav_dman@yahoo.com, used 04 rxp and B1 on the xmas list. 04Honda F12X at home, 02 in stpete, both boosted a bit. 97 venture1200 for sale soon. |

quote: First, if I could have a Gallardo, I'd have one over the 360 any day. Another league. I am now lurking around the new M5, or eventually the new M6 (might look better, GOD Chris Bangle is on crack).... Yes I have the STXR and love it, switched to total loss during the winter and it takes a nice 73 on race gas while sticking to the water. You should have kept yours? I don't know, if the new 15R is what I have heard, it will blow everything away while having a warranty... I might regret spending 30ks in a boat I'll sell for 14/15000 tops...  11 Everything 100%!!! |
