Lol I wish I could "Pose" in an AMV8. Z3guy has had cars many of us would dream of owning and still speaks like an enthusiast about hundreds of different cars, like any REAL car enthusiast does. Marco seems like the kind of guy that makes sure the cuff of his ill fitting suit is rolled up so everyone can see his gold (plated) tag hanging out his window and Jlo glasses in the rearview, while he punches it from 30 to 80 and back to 30 down robson street.

^ that is an awesome picture you presented of Marco....lol!

I have been fortunate to have owned many kool cars, but, the one that I still admire the most.....1992 E36 318is....the car was slow as heck, but I had a Racing Dynamics body kit and 17inch Racing Dynamic wheels, loved loved that thing! plus I was 22yrs old at the time. Hindsight being 20/20, being young, carefree and having a kool car was a great experience I will always cherish.......

My car started as a 1992 318is... now it has a 328i 3.91 LSD and a 5.0 :)

Z3guy 10-13-2014 09:42 AM

^ that's why I really like your car, mine was red too!:hotbaby:

Sorry. You're the one that's delusional enough to think that an M3 is in the same performance league as a 911. The M3 is an inferior car. The numbers bear this out. The driving experience isn't even comparable.

And your characterisation of me is way off the mark. ;)

Energy 10-13-2014 11:37 PM

Marco is being overly aggressive when pushing for the 911 vs M3 but he does have a point.

Marco911 10-14-2014 12:09 AM

The ///M is just (M)arketing. What has become of the formula for raw, lightweight, high-revving naturally aspirated cars?

Piped in engine noises through the stereo? Forced induction? Electric steering like on a Lexus?

Yuck.

I think the 911 is the only mass produced car that is able to offer an authentic sports car driving experience that cannot be matched unless you move to an exotic.

This is an article that summarises everything that is wrong with ///M cars today: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-revi...2014-bmw-m235i

Don't worry, a Cayman won't get you into the club. It's 911 or bust. :noyoudidnt:

But if Joey Tribbiani could become that guy with some boxes and a car cover I could be that guy with a cayman! I BELIEVE!!

Marco911 10-14-2014 09:16 AM

Here's a great read from an owner of both the F80 M3 and the 991 C2S.

My Comparison of the 991 911 vs. F80 M3 - Rennlist Discussion Forums

knight604 10-14-2014 09:31 AM

It's too bad M division is not what it used to be, marco has that point dead on.

The 991 is a different car now due to the extra 4 inches of wheelbase. However, for the regular novice driver who goes to the track occassionally, most can extract more performance from the M3 due to how predictable the car reacts. Sure the pro driver can get more performance from a 997, no argument here, but for most drivers, you won't be able to extract max performance from a 997.

Marco, you are great at pulling up stats, but from your comments, you have little real world track driving experiences, hence you speak out of your ass.

really now? why do you think Porsche never puts in a 3.8L in the Cayman? because it would destroy a 911. Why don't you ask Hans Stuck which car is superior on the track?

why do you think Porsche moved the engine forward and extended the wheelbase 4 inches??????

freakshow 10-14-2014 10:32 AM

Marco is just trolling you guys like alphaspec1mendouchebag.. Marco just has better english. And better cars.

Interesting read on the subject of fast vs. slow cars from Jalopnik;

Fastest Or Slowest Ford Fiesta: Which Is More Fun?

Excerpt:

Driving them slowly is boring, but driving them near the limit means you're going about a million miles per hour. If something goes wrong, you're at risk for some very serious injury. There's also the factor of inviting a ton of tickets.

But driving a slow car "fast" doesn't require that you actually go fast. It's the idea that even at legal speeds, you're having a hoot. Going 60 in a McLaren 650S around some corners feels like nothing. Going 60 around certain corners in a Ford Fiesta 1.0 feels like your Alain Prost on the edge of control. You might not set fast time of the day from Chili's to the post office, but you'll have more fun getting there.

When I read Westopher's reply to him I thought it was me posting it, and that it was 2005 again.
Trolling Marco was cool back when Missy Elliot had a green Lambo with spinners. At a time when Subaru was still just thinking about releasing a 2 door hatch. Back when the thought of a GT-R beating a Porsche was only in Timpo's wet dreams. Back when stance wasn't even a dirty thought.

You guys must be new to Marco.
