Yeah...that just goes to show you the m3 is overpriced.

True on the 2012. Steve, I think the 2013 is available with options and creature comforts like HID's/nav, etc. I might be wrong. I also love the new color options.

Same with me. Although, I did offer, wife says no. She wants no part of it in case she scuffs it, scratches it... etc.....

Kindda like that A5 I test drove when I was debating which car to get. Talk about overpriced. Yeah it's sexy on the outside and inside... but man, talk about a boat. That thing drove terribly. And was slow. Our Z's and 5.0's cost HALF that and is 30times more fun to drive.

However, anyone who doubts a Shelby should just go drive one. I did, and almost bought one.

My boss has an A5. It's a sleek car, nice inside, and relatively practical for a coupe. It is definitely down on power, though. They are rated to around 215hp or so.

lol German cars overpriced?

Coming up in the news, water is reportedly wet, and THIS JUST IN - The sky is occasionally blue!

Lemers · 11-11-2011, 08:37 AM

A blue sky? Now thats just a myth. Everyone knows the sky is grey

Lemers, here's something else to entice you. Found these at Toys r Us the other day. Last one, in my color too, no less. Pretty sweet replica. Mirrors and antenna are rubber and flexible so they don't break

Lemers · 11-11-2011, 09:15 AM

Sweet! You opened it?

Saw the new A7 on the road on the road earlier this week. That thing was freaking sexy!

Yes most definitely. I have a room of all diecast models, etc... on display in a glass case/shelf. I love dusting them, cleaning them, and playing with them

My son does too.

Besides, the box on this particular model was already pretty beat up too. So no way I was displaying that... lol.

where can I find out more about this 5.0 + SC option, is it on the ford website? Can you build a car online with it added?

You would have to do it through the dealer. It's a dealer installed option that you could lump in with the purchase price of the car.

Armonster · 11-11-2011, 12:15 PM

Okay, so where can you find the specs on the SC package?

m4a1mustang · 11-11-2011, 12:22 PM

They should have details on the Ford Racing website since the parts are all FRPP.
