Uncle Tony is a moron. Can't stand that guy. Agreed.

Would you mine posting a couple pics when you get a chance?

I meant no offense. Sorry.

That makes two of us.

The M2 sounds it's a great car if not for the steering and feedback. I realize MPS4s aren't a sticky track tire, but they shouldnt neuter the stearing feel like that. And too bad its butt ass ugly. What in the world is going on at BMW styling these days? 🤦‍♂️🤮

Ever heard of aftermarket part vendors? I can buy anything I need for my 60 year old mustang made with aftermarket parts tooling. If there is a market for it, there will be parts support for it. It's not like technology is going to die in 25 years, or people won't be fixing cars

No ethanol free near me. Though I'm told premium fuel has less in it. I started using a fuel stabilizer in it. And I also try to start it once a week.

The GT Premiums come with factory all season Continentals here in the US. But they are pretty meh IMO and not well reviewed. And they definitely lend to the numb steering complaints many people had with the S650. As mentioned Michelin makes a really good all season that you would like. As for...

Well said. Very easy to daily and work on. I had a '65 auto that I DD from a few years in the 90s. The 289 and 200 engines are super reliable. And yes, the factory power steering and Auto transmissions always leak on those cars. But, I think you can say that on most old cars. My biggest...

It is! The clutch is stiff and the brakes arent nearly as responsive lol. But it's nice to go for a ride with no computers or electronics. The old girl drives surprisingly well.

I'd still be rowing gears if it weren't my DD. But that's what the red one is for.

Those underfilled A10s were doomed from the start. If you didn't figure it out right away, the damage was done and they were never right after that. Many people on the 6G forum also had issues with the shift logic like you describe. But most had it resolved with an update from Ford or a tune...

Typo.

Yeah but bro, your transmission was messed up and not a good example of the A10 at all. Plus the Mach 1 A10 programming was notoriously screwy from the factory. The S650 shift programming is very smooth. I probably drove 5 autos before buying mine and they were all smooth and problem free. I...

Doubtful it's a big difference. But the 3.55s definitely feel more snappy off the line. I do think it plays a role in trottle response. I sought out a car with 3.55s for that reason.

Most American car enthusiasts throw around HP numbers as if that's the only number that matters too. As the saying goes - "horsepower sells cars, torque wins races."

30 HP from carbon traps?! 🤣🤣🤣 Not on an S650. The dynos show its maybe a couple HP at best. The twin throttle bodies flow much better than the S550. But even on a S550 that's ridiculous.

Reading is hard. 🫠

As I already stated twice, you can get 3.55 gears as an option on non PP GT.

Honestly, I think you both have some good points. But the "casual banter" is turning into a pissing contest. 😉
