You've got a sorted, reliable car with a platform designed for power.
Or you found spend a s**t load on an old, shitty clio, get a turbo which seems to cause more hassle than it's worth and spend as much time dealing with issues and niggles as you do driving the thing.
If you want small...
Same as the last one. Don't care what it does (and ring times have got a bit pointless), it just looks a bit stupid. Aesthetics don't bother me a great deal, but I'd feel a total weapon in one of those.
Had a decent play with an s8 today. Wouldn't consider it a significant upgrade from an s7. It looks and feels nice, but it's no quicker (not to a noticeable degree), don't really notice the screen after a short while, and at least half the apps I tried don't actually work on it yet (Android...
I've run b14's. They're decent, but for road use the Sachs were better (for me), and for track the kw v2's offer great adjustability. But I've never fitted suspension for looks.
B14'S, great for the money though.
Go and drive one, come back with an informed opinion, then discuss it.
Meanwhile, I'll try and figure out how feel, composure and ride quality can ever be described as 'only'. I'm not sure what else I'd expect from suspension changes at road speeds.
You're not actually reading what has been posted. At no point have i said that a trophy is quicker, or that standard (or coilovers)are a limiting factor.
What I've said is that you'll notice a difference. The wheel control, for example is superb on the Sachs, and you can feel that when...
On track, I'm not sure there's a big difference tbh, especially with decent stuff (kw etc). But on the road, the difference is more noticeable. Very noticeable once pushing on.
An average Joe might not notice. But why is an average Joe buying a 182 or a trophy?
Imo, they are very different cars. The e90 is a better daily, better over long distances and very capable. But the limits are higher, so while it's fantastic when you get to drive it hard, because of the higher limits can't drive it as hard as an e46 as often.
The e46 is easier to skid than an...
