The way the E90/92/93s make power is way more involving and enjoyable than how the F80s make power. Sure the F80s are faster and flexible, but it just doesn't feel really special and is quite frankly, a little boring to drive...it is very similar to how the E60 M5s feel vs F10 M5s......I am losing my enthusiam for new M cars.....I will be switching to Porsches moving forward, but if the right Maserati Coupe at the right price I could be tempted.....

Taken in Vernon this past weekend during our annual Celica meet. Drove thru a crazy storm and the sky turned pitch black for a while.

Fingers crossed, more options wont hurt. Personally I like the 997, feels more humble and lowly.

^ I like the 997.2s as well, but the gap in pricing to 991 is only like $10K to $15K. 997s are awesome cars, but they just look so dated when you see them side by side

are the rears 8" wide? setup looks a little odd. you're going to need spacers for the rears i think.

Fronts are 19x8.5, rears are 19x9.5.

E92 Coupes have a weird rear fender, I think that's why my wheels look that way. There is still a good amount of space though, will definitely be considering spacers.
