I had a 997.2 turbo manual several years ago…I didn’t like it at the time due to lack of exhaust sound and long throws on shifter…in retrospect these issues could have been remedied with mods but crazy to compare to blackwing today and how good GM oem shifter and exhaust can be.
I still daily an RS4 in winter but we added a used 25 X3 M50 (turbo in line 6) for our kid and I have to say in sport mode the M50 makes for a great winter ride with good tech and features as well as rear seat and cargo space. Worth a quick test drive. I do agree about the plastic inside but the...
5BW Coastal blue 6 speed is my vote but I’m biased…I don’t think interior color is a dealbreaker on this car as it really feels good driving the 5 and you will grow to like the interior I suspect
I have experimented on the same tight turn with different ptm modes and noticed the car braking and cutting off power when ptm inactive and slippage detected and then increasing degrees of rear end tail wagging with dry ptm and then sport ptm (need to be careful as rear will come out a bit to...
I think this is true for a lot of cult cars out there…as years go on and people recognize how good the blackwing is without new models being made, people may search for cars with particular options that add value for them. I spec’d mine as I couldn’t find the combination I wanted used…6MT...
Love the e36 M3 especially with those wheels. I like your taste. I also have a 991.2 GT3 manual…great variety with the blackwing and my guess is similar track times based on my experience at Spring Mountain (which btw you have to do and included with new blackwing purchase).
I passed on all the north suburbs Cadillac dealers back in 2023-2024…they all wanted over msrp…ordered from a Michigan dealer with high blackwing volume and received my blackwing at msrp…no games.
Good explanation of the differences between z06 and blackwing…totally makes sense with the different body styles and engines NA vs supercharged. I suppose removable targa is a nice perk with z06. I have a few other cars (all manual trans and NA) and I have been grabbing the blackwing keys the...
Nice variety of cars! I like the different colors and transmissions. Is the mustang factory matte or a wrap? How you like the z06 compared to blackwing?
