No ones saying BMW are bad cars...they (Motor Trend) have always thought of it as benchmarks...including me. Randy Pobst actually has nothing to do with Motor Trend and he's a pretty reputable race driver.
all I'm saying is that its a VERY impressive feat to make a Live axle suspension FEEL really balanced on bumpy high speed sweepers which also makes you confident in pushing the car even more. A normal Live axle car will actually have a side to side lateral movement happening in the rear EVEN when the rear tyres are gripping. I have driven the 2009 GT500 and yes...that was REALLY horrible...there is only 200 usable horsepower when the car is 500hp...the suspension was just not upto the task.
nways I shouldn't be explaining myself to much. :)
You should just think that its BECAUSE of BMW, guys like Ford have something to benchmark it to.
I'm sorry to say this but the Americans are now starting to step up their game.
But I know that it will be VERY easy for BMW to raise the bar after that. :)

Ayham only trains the beginners which is not the case for me , so no I cant go. :lol:
Joking I'm not going, I tried a couple months ago and didn't really work out, I dont have LSD or whatever. Nd besides I was a complete disaster.
By the way Ayham, why does my gearbox shift by itself in triptonic if it exceeds 6k rpm ? What's the point of a triptonic if its still automatic. :doh!:
Last time I tried to drift I heard the 120km/h ding dong and I was wondering why it smells like rubber. :rofl:
Saw ur beast today... MashAllah that thing is a beauty!!! I'm going to personally make sure u drift it like a king!! I was where u r so I know how it feels... Only way is up buddy!!
