My Ride: Mini Cooper
the 530lci also kills the Lexus GS450hybrid (supposed to be very fast on paper with claimed 0-100 of5.9secs)
by 5 secs!!!!
my car the E coupe turbo, intercooled direct injection 250cgi has a time around the Autozeitung track of 1.45.3secs
which is faster than the A4 3.2FSI, R32, Golf gti, 335i coupe,TT3.2, E500, the 350cgi .....
equal to a 550i and 0.5 secs slower than the CLS55 and 350Z, 650i and 2secs slower than the M5 and X6M.
very surprising as the 0-100 is not as fast as them..maybe purpose built low centre of gravity coupes
have advantages on the track??
holy shit, the panamera 4s is 5secs faster than the M5 !!!!
Will you will be the king of the road!!!!

Me too If I had a GTR I would not spend too much on the mods, keep it for a year and get other fun car to drive
Save the money and get other car to play with
both are very nice.
sorry when I say jap wheel, what I mean is putting japanese style like the 1s on MK cars, gold
:thumbsdown:

We just went down to Advan shop in CWB/Tin Hau.... i went to look at Vorsteiner as they are distributor but it seems their price is not as competitive as the guy on the forum. Mo nearly bought some advans... but dont know what model it is.
they got some nice rims down there.... a cool set of Klassen i think its called.... but sooo damn expensive!!!

hmmm....the weight you saved from forged wheels is not that significant that there would be obvious performance gain... and I for one will change back to stock wheels for track day 'cos for any reason i hit the gravel, all 4 wheels will be completely damage...
I used to have OZ Ultraleggra on my GTI and those are super light, they are so light, I could actually feel the car picks up faster than with stock, but the wheels are not strong and got damaged via potholes in HK.....so I usually prefer forged wheels for road driving...
Cheers,
Mike

some BBS are made in Germany, most are made in Japan for our market, and you have to wait say 2months as well.....
BBS and Neez prob has the best quality, but we would be arsed to find the difference between the forged, unless we are racing.
Mike prob has the best experience as he races.
Mark you are bloody hyped up man, you are the prodigal son, make the decision now and get the stuff before the next drive!!!
i'll have to whip my bodykit guy to speed things up for the next meet or else i will be the new Capt Boring,
currently PINGU HK the 16inch (wheel) man is reigning Captain BORING,
give it out large to him, we don't want to be following some geeky dork in a 16inch pram wheeled E60 beemer,
ET talk some sense to him!!!
