Subaru STi !!! Damn, I wouldn't of thought. That's one I would of felt somewhat confident with...guess I would of been wrong!

That, as well as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo are both sub 5 second cars from 0 to 60. The 550 with the auto trans is not. Can't wait for the 400 bhp, 450 lbs-ft of torque TT V8 in the F10 550 to drop those 0 to 60 times to below 5 seconds in the auto. The fastest ever 0 to 60 time recorded for a stock 550 was 4.8 second by one car mag testing a manul. Most recorded times are in the low 5s. With 400 bhp and 450 lbs-ft of torque, I am guessing that the F10 550 will post 0 to 60 times of about 4.6-4.9 seconds depending on the tranmission choice, launch technique, altitude and temp at the time of testing, skill of the test driver and which car mag is doing the test.

I'm sure some of our better looking (female) board members would take offense to that.

I think there's been a misunderstanding. When I revved my engine, he did not hear it. Even if the driver had his windows down I still doubt he would've heard that. After the first eye contact (about half a second) I didn't even glance at him, because I knew how badly he could've stomped me.

And about the "when you turn your car on, does it return the favor" girl, I should've remembered...

I was thinking of the one where she pulls up next to the e60 at a stop light, makes some reference to "the boys' club," then lights it up. I tried to find it on Youtube.
