now imagine if R34 and Evo were a bit more airodinamicly perfected, i mean take of those square bodies and put on something slik low profiled made out of carbonfiber, or some othe lightweight aloys.

That's what I'm talking about! That is an incredibly sexy color on the Benz. You know this body is not anything Exotic or jaw-dropping, but it's just so "timeless & fluid".
If all goes according to plan... I'll be putting one in my garage this Spring/Summer!
Although Black and that Carbon Grey are smoking... I'd have to clear my calendar on daily to keep it looking like I know I'd want it to look.
And there are too many Silver ones floating around. Therefore an Artic White w/ Black and a nice set of Chrome/Staggered/Multi-Piece 19's would do me just Gravy! Sorta like this....

Even though... Those wheels are a lil' too much bling with such a large surface area.
I would personally want to put one of my favorite wheels of all time on there with Chrome Lips and the Face/Spokes painted White to match the paint or leave them Silver as they are.
This wheel is so classy & elegant IMO:

The next M3 won’t debut until early 2007. That means that unless the company makes a last minute change of plans, the new M3 will be born as a 2008 model. The article reiterates previous reports suggesting a 425-horsepower V8 . Writer Georg Kacher points out that the M3’s 4.4 liter powerplant will slot it between the 420-hp Audi RS4 and the 450-hp Mercedes-Benz C63. Initially, SMG and a standard 6-speed transmission will be offered. And while a twin-clutch gearbox might not make it to the first model year, they E92 M3 will offer plenty of high-tech parts, including carbon-ceramic brakes and aluminum hood, trunk, and doors.

Was anyone really suprised? Was Ferrari supposed to be an drag racer? lol.
Feel bad for Ferrari guys, but will ferrari ever be able to be the fastest car, when you can simply buy cheap cars like E55, or even cheaper cars like Evo and get more performance than either of those...

Yeah, BUT........ The Modena only weighs 3064.4 lbs
The Benz weighs in at a HEFTY 4087 lbs!
So unless the passenger was @ 700 lbs (in which case he couldn't even fit!) the Red Itallian got smoked. As was staed above... It is STILL a sweet-azz ride without question.
But that E55 is a sleeper fo yo azz!

Uhhhhm..... I don't think a $70 - $80k Car and the word cheap go together.
Again... 360 = Hottness!!!
AMG E55 = Practicality and stratospheric performance in a nice roomy package!
