Anything you can do to a smaller displacement can be done to a larger one and yield more hp/tq.
Imagine the vq with a set of twins

That's a very good deal on the M3 given the mileage.

you can't say you'll only settle for an Aventador and 458 then come back and recommend a G37  | Drive my wife’s G37x sedan on an almost daily basis it’s a fine car for a daily. Very comfortable, most options, more than enough power for anything and the handling for a large, heavy, luxury sedan is not bad it’s better than expected I’d say. I recently drove the crows nest up to penticton in it and I was passing cars oin the windys over 100km/h comfortably
I get it ya completely different cars, but unless you’re taking that evo to the track or at the very least autocross sitting in those recaro buckets everyday would get tired quick

The handling sure, but I’d venture to say most cars don’t have the power for overtaking in those situations

I could maybe get my wifes Matrix to the limit on my drive to work, but my Celica or Jeep? Not even close.

I mean... a Camry has over 300hp nowadays in the V6 model. It's ridiculous for power. My Accord V6 definitely did not have problems passing anyone on the Coq and the Crows Nest in any location. If anything it needs more tire, because it has problems putting down the power.

2012 Accord Coupe V6 HFP (automatic) 129k km, $11,550. Do your research as it is a shady Kingsway dealership.

both have rod bearing issues on the earlier models.
both are sweet sounding engines... and would be classic motors for the years to come.
naturally aspirated, high compression, individual throttle bodies....... stuff that don't really happen anymore.
get one while you still can!

The DCT is awesome. I am very casually hunting for a 0 option white DCT coupe (specifically no nav or I’d be calling on this one) and for me the DCT is absolutely the only choice. I want to race it and it is such a huge advantage it’s silly. Not to mention all that sexy throttle blipping it does...

-Mark | Allowing the presence of a Nav to be a deal breaker seems a bit odd to me. If the rest of the car meets all your requirements, why not just take the nav? Worst case scenario, you swap it out yourself, no?
