Tuscan S vs BMW M3
Discussion
Bah - a Griff could easily drag an M3 on the straight. No suprise the Tuscan blew it out.
BTW Ed - how is life without the Griff? Must be harsh. I took mine in to Blackpool last week and it went all hot on me. Had to let the ^%$£$% cool down and then tip evian water all over the starter motor to get it going again - after shorting out the otter to keep the fans on in case it decided to heat up again.
They let you down, but if you can live with the foibles the grin never stops.
Except for Speed 6's. Never going there

Well couldn't get the download to work but anyone that knows me on here I had a Cascade Copper Tuscan S (in this years Le Mans parade) and now have a new M3 'SMG'.
Didn't see the video but clearly the Tuscan S beat the M3...no surprises there as have beat many an M3 on Bruntingthorpe strip. The Tuscan S was great fun for the 18 months I had it but also have to say the M3 is something else. The sequential box is just fantastic and nothing like keeping foot down on the accelerator as you change up and down the paddles. Clearly see its a very fast car (still running in though) but its got the overall package if you want to take passengers and have some luxury along with it. Miss the Tuscan S but glad I have something that can still put in some very good performance against most cars on the road.
p.s. I think people can stop knocking the sp6...since owning the M3 and been on all their forums the M3 engine has had just as many problems with failures as the sp6. I was a support of the sp6 on here (had no problems with mine) and was surprised to see the many recalls on the M3...ok might have better support but its not always greener on the other side

I miss it plenty.. actually more than I thought I would. At least its gone to a very good home.. that helps.. would have helped even more if it had gone with me to my new home of course...
btw I had a starter mtr heat shield made for me (Top Cats) out of some ally they had kicking around.
