I remember that episode on Speed. I think the guy said only 5-6 were built...

Road & Track December issue states " The 90-degree V-10 ia a clean-sheet design, engineered specfically for this car (and the forthcoming M6) and not based on any existing BMW powerplant, including the BMW Formula 1 engine."

This thing is a NA V-10, 8200rpm redline, 507hp, 7 speed sequential tranny, 5.0-liter

ive always liked the toyota supra but this is definately a car to like!!! the new toyota solara's are nice also the 2002 that is not shure what years they made them but they look very similar to the soarer (dont worry dayle i still like your car the most heh)

Dayle, was the Lexus SC300 vitually identical to the soarer with the exception of left hand drive? I sat in a SC400 once and thought it was nice. I heard almost all SC's were automatics. There was an article in SCC about a 5 speed SC300.

The new M6 is pretty sweet. Same V10 as the M5, but 2 door, and some other awesome features.

I too am a fan of the 8 series...that's a good lookin car. Many others are on my list, but I'll stick with the BMW theme that has arisen in this thread.

[Royal Tiger]

I'd take the new Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG over the M5/M6. Unfortunately they only made 100 or 1000 and all are gone. The new BMW's are coyote ugly. As a proud German of Bavarian decent, it hurts to see where BMW is going these days. iDrive and all. I'd like to see M-B do more cars for our shores. I couldn't afford any of them, but it'd be nice.

Yikes, the M6 is somewhere between 3700 and 3900 pounds!

I've been trying (without much succes) to get my wife to let me build one of these:

I've been in love with the Cobra Daytona since they first appeared.

Today I got to drive a 2003 SMG M3. Awesome car. The shifting on the highest setting was incredibly fast and the way it blipped the throttle on down-shifts was just flat out cool. I want.
