Love Audio Love Cars

Rhljazz, which M3 do you own? E30, E36 or the new E46? I have a '99 E36 myself, and it's my daily commuter. I think the older E30s were pretty damn cool.

Plato, I owned a '96 GSR and loved the sound of that motor at full song. I really believe that car isn't happy unless it's revving somewhere between 5500 and 8200 RPMs.

Rhljazz, so you own the very first 3.2 litre E36. Mine is the very last. It's Titanium Silver. Where are you located? I could use a good shop, hopefully you're close to me in Los Angeles, CA. :-)

Plato, I had a red GSR and it got stolen three days beofre my lease was up and two days before Thanksgiving '99. It was recovered on Christmas Eve a month later completely stripped. Whoever chopped it did a very neat job, but then again they had plenty of time and privacy. I did remove the carbon fiber shift knob and give it to my girlfriend at the time before it got snatched.

Ramond, nice ride! Does your Vette have one of them old Muncie shifters? Rock Crushers? I agree. With your car who needs a car stereo, the engine and exhaust are the music! Or maybe in your case closer to 7.1 earthquake surround!

UncleJeff, that is an amazing trek you accomplished!

Plato, during the time I owned the GSR I had a chance to drive my friend's NSX. It was around midnight Christmas Eve and the roads in Southern California were pretty empty so I had a chance to open her up.

The seating and cockpit of this car fit me perfectly, and since this was a '96 model it no longer had the heavy manual steering of the early models so it was just as easy to drive as an Accord. No supercar diva here. This could easily be a daily-driver.

Heal-toeing is easy in this car and I needed it when my friend scolded me for taking a freeway on-ramp too slowly in third gear. So I downshifted and let that V-TEC buzz away on the long sweeping on-ramp. The acceleration is effortless in this car, and it wasn't until after I upshifted to third I noticed we were doing almost 110 mph. It' sooo easy to go fast in this car. I would have loved to take this car on the run from Los Angeles to Vegas!

My M3 is nice, but the NSX feels like you're in the cockpit of fighter jet.
