While I agree with most all you say here..to me 75% is not 100%....and I really want 110%+....but thats just me. The Alpines are fantastic BTW I agree. But just the other day they came loose a bit in the cold on some twistiys. Of course i normally run in sport PTM so I could have reigned them...

OK I get it...one could manage with all seasons in non snow areas or if they have alternative transport for snow or cold conditions,,,,but IMO all seasons are a (generally unacceptable) compromise....in all seasons. I'm not aware of any all season tire that grips as well as our OEM PS4 tire in...

Depends on how you drive...but i think the hit could be a big one. I'm a big believer in snow tires for the winter (if the climate at all warrants it) and summer performance tires for spring summer & fall. As a Blackwing driver (or at least considering one) I would assume you value handling...

I've never driven a Viper but I know that they are very special cars. So I imagine you will be sad giving it up....even if you don't drive it so much. But I think the CT 4 V Blackwing will surprise you WRT how good it is. Is it Viper fast? Probably not...but close enough in real world situations...

Love the performance and not getting any codes (cross my fingers)

Exactly....super nice inside and out. Owner said the engine was a 400....I should have asked to see it. Car was so nice I forgot to take a pic of my BW which was 3 cars back behind him just out of my pictures. I knew there were folks here who would appreciate this car as i did.

Totally agree....and I have done the exact same - mounted the stock PS4s on (much lighter and great looking) Apex wheels and mounted Alpine snows on the stock wheels. Its a great setup that I highly recommend. The Alpine's are great driving tires for a snow tire in cold weather conditions and no...

Took the car out to lunch with some friends at a very nice Italian restaurant in a little town out in the VA countryside. Nice to get out. Saw this car parked out front and had a nice talk with the owners.

Well you now have more miles on the car than messages on this forum....congrats! lol

We have a two car garage...but the only car that ever sees the inside is our Mustang (garage kept by us and my godparents - the original owners - since new in 1964). The other side of my garage holds 6 bicycles as well as a mini fridge (beer & beer making supplies). work bench, stacks of wheels...

I had been keeping up with bushings & control arms and such but probably need to do so again. Its really not so bad though....just in comparison to some of the newer sport cars I've driven. I'll look into steering & driveshaft quibos...though have to admit I don't even know what that is. I've...

I bought my Apex wheels last year through my wheel/tire shop - Radial Tire in Silver Spring MD (can't recommend them highly enough...aside from being track guys and knowing their stuff they gave me an additional discount on the wheels beyond the Apex sale price). They recommended and installed...

Thanks for the concern Bimmerfan. Yeah...trying ordeal and will be a long recovery. But I have amazed my doctors and nurses with the rate of my recovery. I told them I'm a fast healer....but I'm older now....so my claims have been put to the test. I have a deep wound from an abdominal abscess...

Just the other day I vowed to my wife never to sell the ZHP...and thats not the first time I've proclaimed this. To my somewhat surprise she agreed. She loves driving the car (her daily) but 2 years ago was the one saying she wanted a new car which in part spurred my research and interest in...

BimmerFan - like me constantly praising my ZHP (and GTI and prior Audi S4 Avant) we've heard this all before....but appro for the thread and a very nice summary as to why you're not an OG M2 fan....and it all makes sense. I've always had a bit of buyers regret not getting a prior gen M2...

Looks great....one of the very best colors IMO (particularly with those bronze wheels!). Shame its back at the dealership....hope you get it resolved quickly and easily...

I do indeed (still) own a 2004 BMW ZHP and of course a 2024 CT 3 V BW....both are fantastic (driving) cars and I love them both. The ZHP is plenty quick - though not fast per se (compared to "fast" cars of today) but boy is it still a hoot to drive. I just love revving it out....that inline 6...

Back in the day (remember I'm old) there used to be a saying that went something like this - "whats the difference between a 1200hp Supra and a 700 hp Supra? Answer - .1 sec in the 1/4 mile" Issue of course was always traction...

There's actually a few more of us. I met a 5 V BW owner (not on the forum) a few months back who attends Katie's C & C. I've never done so but will try to get my A up early enough one of these Sundays...

I feel your pain. It took me forever to source my Alpines a little over a year ago. My guess is that it might be easier to find them this summer....but unsure of continuing availability. Not ideal. I agree that the Alpines or Sotozeros seem the best options performance wise. Good luck!
