C&D got 8.1 to 60mph, but Motorweek got the following:
0-60mph: 7.2 seconds
1/4 mile: 15.2 seconds at 91 mph
Wonder why there's such a difference in the numbers?
Darn, just when I thought I was over Chrysler, I saw the Special zipping around corners and oh, that exhaust note! You should have seen the nasty looks and comments coming from my mother as she peaked around the corner from the kitchen! Now, I must find a way to afford an M! I'd love a Special, but I guess I could make it with my own "Special" used M. Hmm...wonder how I can make some good dough fairly quickly!
Any ideas?!

Did you think they would? ;-))

Maybe I need to go for a ride in a new CL-S?!
Anyone want to know what I'm talking about, visit your local peer-to-peer software program or get yourself some sound clips at http://www.cdnow.com. I'm still laughing.
BE NICE!! ;-)) I understand the "love/hate" feelings. Not quite "DRIVE=LOVE", but "LOOKS=LOVE"! ;-)))

sdmike, I didn't check the amp yet, but thanks for the heads-up and the AC vs. AB thing. I'll be looking into it for sure. I had to stop playing Godsmack because of the buzzing, had to go pretty flat on the equalizer to stop the buzz and then it didn't sound good anymore. Even worse on FM radio. Maybe speakers and amp need some help. Not a big deal for now, having too much fun cruising.
Enjoy your specail M

1 possible problem, I'm not sure they're available in the M's 17" 55 series...
Otto, Wire has there been a change in tires???
"I just played the tape back and noticed that the tires on the Special they tested WEREN'T Pilot Sports - the tread was different."
Maybe the roads were slippery or wet and they had to change tires the day they tested the car?
fastdriver
I think it's coming on here in about 45 minutes. I'd like to see it. Curious as to how someone could notice the difference in tires unless they show a close up of them.

PS.. On that 300M on eBay.. $11K is what its' worth retail. High Miles=Massive deduct on these.

I feel sorry for the person that traded that M in. If the seller (dealer) is willing to let it go for $10k, just think of what the trade-in must have been!
Oh no! Motorweek isn't on here! Hundreds of channels to choose from. I can get shopping channels, every movie out there, all sports, local access etc., but NO Motorweek!
I'm sure we get it. Maybe it's just not at 1:30 today. It's probably at 5 AM!! ;-)) I'll find it.
fastdriver
LOL... I did all that! It says it's on about 6 stations, but something else is on i.e. Cartoon Network, YES(Yankees Channel), ESPN, OLN etc.
I just e-mailed them to see what's going on.

All in all, they really liked the car and the exhaust on the special sounds similar to the dual exhaust setup many of us have except maybe a tad quieter.
The numbers everyone is getting on the M are varying all over the place. One time it's 8 secs, Motorweek says 7.2 0-60, one club member got 6.89 0-60 with only intake mods. I guess I'm gonna have to get a Tazzo (www.tazzo.com) and measure it myself.
I noticed the same thing. When I first sign on, that's the page I go to. Sometimes I scroll down to see the top 10. More times than not, they all say 0! Maybe that's the new way to get in the top 10- say NOTHING! LOL....
fastdriver
LOL... made you talk!! ;-))

PS The wacko has the hosts' attention. Now they just have to stop him/her.
Sorry, the comment went over my head.
Fastdriver: Yep, they do show a closeup of the left front wheel & tire and good look at the tread pattern. The pattern looks an awful lot like the blocky directional tread on the Pilot Alpins I have.
I was wondering how you saw it. I THOUGHT I was going to see for myself, but the show was not on at 1:30 today like their website says. I e-mailed them to see if and when it's on here.
