Yeah, it is a bit disappointing. Turbo will muffle the sound a bit though...
Check out the vid for the M3 (i.e. your engine), as good as any of the other cars Kreis Sieg do them for IMO!
Exhausts start from about £5k though! It is a very heavy item as it the different modes means there is...
Practical for a 2dr maybe!
I would have a Ph2 Vee over the Focus, but i do really like them too, it's just that interior. The Vee is certainly more special, and no negative image IMO.
Amazing value but big and ugly IMO.
It is 500bhp as with the M5, but a tad lighter. Considering the M5 can beat a Lambo its no surprise!
As impressive as it is though, the M3 betters the M6 by some distance when it comes to driving, you don't get many opportunities to go that fast on the roads...
TB'd and Charged? Crazy! They are technically good engines... but they do need a hell of a lot of maintenance and watching! I spoke to a guy with a Turbo Technics MGF on a test day and he was re-designing some elements, almost 300bhp he said.
By throwing a s**t load of cash at them basically. One is a 1.8 240bhp and the other is a 1.9 255bhp, both the most powerful tested of their kinds by Minister! The 1.8 was a spare, we thought it was a stock lump but when it was rebuilt we found out it had an upgraded block and all sorts.
Yes, a company is sub-contracted by Porsche to do fitness stuff geared at people involved in motorsport. The place doubles up a the 'Porsche Human Performance Development Centre.' They have quite cool stuff there, even a heat chamber! Anyway, i was there to be tested.
I was doing a fitness thing at Porsche's new centre at Silverstone today. The main thing they do is take prospective Porsche owners out in new cars, so a few tasty motors are held there! Here's some snaps from my lunchbreak...
Sneaked into a room to find a new...
I'm no detailer but you can neither wash or take photos ;)
Much nicer de-spoilered...
I don't mind big exhausts on Jap cars but i think it would be much nicer if it stuck out no further than the bumper.
