kfc469 said:my car does all of that except the massaging seats, auto leveling headlights, and the computer controlled suspension. and it doesnt have the proximity sensors. so you are paying 40-50 grand more for less than ten extra features and the name
kfc469 said:I was just trying to prove the point that the name of BMW adds a very lot of money to the price of the car. Sure, my car has a few less features but it costs much much less.
kfc469 said:i dont think that you could get it up to 30k. the seats are not that amazing. they have A/C and heat and massage- not 4k a piece.
those features do not add up to 30k because the BMW would be selling their cars at a loss and they wouldnt do that.
trust me, you are paying a lot for the name. go to any car forum and ask--they will tell you that.
edit: i posted this on an actual car forum so we will know who is right once and for all.
The General said:1. NewCents05 drives a BMW luxury car.
2. You drive a Pontiac ...
NewCents05 would win by default. You don't even need to race. This is like a suped up Honda racing a Ferrari ... Sure, the Honda might be faster, but it sure as hell isn't a Ferrari...
Besides, if you want to get down on speed/price then I'll smoke you with my YZF-R1 next month.
I'll smoke you off the line, and in top speed. Can your Pontiac go 200mph?
And it'll cost $10,000 (yes, $18,000 less than your Pontiac, lol)
Are we finished comparing things that shouldn't be compared now?
Thanks, bye.
Snump said:Nobody wins by default. Generally people say they when they know they spent too much on a car. Whether or not that kid actually owns that car has already been discussed. I have my doubts.
Yes, you have to go to a two wheeled death trap to beat the LS2.
What's next? Comparing a Dodge Durango to the GTO?
Actually I think Lingenfelter slappes a twin turbo on one of these and got it to 200.
Snump said:Actually no, the thrtee series BMW would get owned. The M3 is the only three series that would beat it.
Read the reviews, kids. You might laugh, but you can laugh at the taillights.
Also, do you have to swear every other word? I obviously touched a neerve somewhere.
This is why I like the GTO. It ****es people off. The muscle car guys get ****ed because this is technically a muscle car, but doesn't have en engine youcan hear two blocks away.
The German snobs are ****ed because its their design. The Monaro is an Opal/Vauxhaul design. The only thing American in there is the 6.0 engine.
The ricers hate it because they know it'll eat them alove without breaking a sweat.
Its quiet.
Its content.
Its boring.
So I don't know exactly what kind of point you're trying to make, but comong on here and trying to make your balls look bigger doesn't really do much for your credibility.
Just FYI... 2007 335i has 300bhp and 300ft-lbs.
0-60 5.3 quarter mile in 13.5
GTO has 400/395
0-60 in 4.5 quarter 13.5 sec @ 106
the 1.4 time is matched and the GTO has an extra 100lbs.
there's an old saying, you buy horsepower, and use torque.
I will gibve the Germans this: they did pretty well with only 3.5 liters.
