That is a sweet car Mr.SugarSkulls I have been thinking about going for a bigger more "muscular" type of car. So far, my objective is to get smaller and quicker, but I have eyed the M6 a few times. So gorgeous and powerful (like 1MOREMOD #nohomo). I think I may get my fix on something like that after my daughter goes off to school. My problem now is that I will eventually have to give something up... so far, I have just been keeping everything. I just need to become MKSixer so I can buy the house next door and turn it into a parking garage. I am sure the neighbors won't mind.

An aside: finally going to get my sleeve filled in on June 25th. It's not a fully cohesive piece, just the individual components dedicated to mom, but going for a galaxy/stars/dots/moons filler. Debating whether or not to go for a motorsport/automotive/bio-mech concept for my left arm, which is untouched.

If you get rid of anything, DO NOT make it the E92.

NOT FOR YOU. But yeah, the m6 is a beautiful/awesome ride. Its presence is one thing I truly miss about it. Not a loud "look at me" type, but definitely not your ordinary BMW either. It looks like money, and drives like it too. I'm anxious to see the new one in a few years.

I know it is the wave of the future, they have confirmed the next generation M5 to not be optioned with one, I suppose those chassis would share similar characteristics. But man, something about a powerful motor with an appropriately paired gearbox.. that is awesome. I think we spoke of this, but the subsequent gen Porsche GT3/RS will be coming with a manual, most likely a variant of the 7 speed offered in the GTS/R models. I am really looking forward to that.

And it's a subtle drop! Nothing extreme, and is also covered by warranty. This will be your "daily" driver or fun car? I know you are WFH so you aren't on the road too much.

I loved the idea of the M6 Convertible but the 400 lb weight penalty was to much to allow serious consideration of the vehicle. This theory continues with my upcoming purchase of the GT3-RS. And speaking of...I spoke to the Porsche regional rep on yesterday and I am #2 on the regional list. Once we went over the build in detail he closed with, 'We are delighted to have a customer of your reputation moving into the fold'. And I can't get an ///M4 GTS allotment. |

And I certainly agree with you! The current gen RS that is only available with PDK, I wouldn't mind owning...if it was the only option available. Those shifts are ungodly, I have yet to hear a faster shift from a production car. Makes even the M-DCT seem slow, no offense to the DCT owners. However, I consider myself someone who will preserve the true art of the nature of motorsport driving for as long as it is offered. If there are three pedals, I default to it. It is not even a contest, at this point. But EXCELLENT news concerning the allocation spot! It is solely for slot, no? No other specifications are available at this time, I presume.

Truth... I keeping eyeballing the 650. I think once I snag the M2, then maybe I can start messing with the E92. So much temptation. Watch funds and car funds are commingled though... withdrawal from one, delays the other...

Ya two are in a different league, though. jtodd_fl 's dIno post is probably the best one I have read this year. Fucking Dino got me. There's one LBB M2 in manual, I'm going to ask them for a test drive. I just need to come up with some clever lines to convince the dudes there.

swagon and jtodd_fl :
I especially LOVE the "How much do you need to make to afford a M2" thread My reply - To own a M2, one must make slightly less than the owner of a F8X M and slightly more then the owner of a E9X M.... |
