VERY true, a 800+ hp M5 would be a VERY fun toy to have.

I still love that m3. Ryan from IND was test driving it before they transported it to Bimmerfest in Cali and he said that there wasn't a driver or pedestrian on the road that didn't turn their head and gawk at the car to the point that it was almost embarassing. I believe it; you just have to see it in person.

I did see it in person - Bimmerfest, remember? It is a very nice car, just doesn't seem like he needed to spend $200k to get there. Someone else posted a thread selling a buddy's 700hp M3 for a quarter of that price. This particular guy apparently has the $$$ to spend that if he wants to, I am not hating, more power to him.

To be honest, I DID see that car and it was impressive, but I'd rather have DBae or Tony's M5 or Trinity's M5 when he gets don with it. Those are beasts too.

Doh! You are correct sir, I could almost afford the lease with $200k, and that doesn't even include the subsequent purchase. I should stop my exotic car shopping dream now .

I would love to see a GTR with even $100k in mods in it. That thing better be a race/track car because that much power and engineering can't go to waste!

Then there is install and tuning and all the other junk to follow...I'm sure once it's all said and done your up in the low $20k range! I don't know about you, but thats a lot of chedder! I'm also enjoying the warranty right now too lol!

This is the most badass M3 I've ever seen. ESS supercharger, 700 HP, roll cage, carbon fiber doors, rear, custom guages, BBS wheels that aren't even out yet (I think only 4 sets ever made). I'm very proud to have everything on my car done by these guys.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen an M3 exhaust with both an H section and an X section.
