The Summer only continentals hooked up well but I’ve since moved to Michelin PS4 All Seasons for both cars. Just easier for the winter when we’ll randomly get a foot of snow and temps in the teens for 2 weeks. |

I had those Michelins on my challenger, no complaints. i'd heard the DSW06 Conti's are better for rain and longer life, which is more of a concern in my area than snow. That's why I'[m thinking of trying them. |

i was in the "meh" crowd when they changed the front end but it's grown on me. I really like it now. I've been having a lot of fun driving this thing. Old version still iconic, just talked to a nice younger guy at the gas station today, he was driving a white f8o with some bolt ons.

Ended up picking it up for $3,500...it needed a little work, but not much. Did some suspension mods, upgraded the turbos, put a few standard bolt-ons on it, and a good E40 tune, and the thing went 10.90 at 129mph at the track, leaving in 2nd gear (to keep the tires hooked up). Not sure there is any other platform out there that you can run 10's with for that kind of money. (I probably have $3K of mods in it). By my math, it's pushing a little under 600hp at the rear tires. And the best part is that it's got awesome brakes, all the cushy BMW interior stuff, and it's not your standard Mustang or Camaro. Yes, it idles and sounds like a Toyoto Camry.....but when the boost hits, it's downright brutal. Fun cars for sure.....  https://i.imgur.com/5vOwWJC.jpeg Awesome car! Curious how you feel about the reliability of the N54. When they were first out they had a terrible reputation (high pressure fuel pumps?). Have the issues been fixed? Are there after market fixes to make them somewhat reliable? Could be an inexpensive, really fun track car. |

Nope, just a regular R/T with some bolt-on's/tune. |
