I decided right then and there that it wasnt going to cut it.
Those things run mid-low 14's in magazines. I dont know how good she was at driving, but it was a manual, and she was good enough.
haha- that gave me a good laugh. I have driven a few 330 six speeds at work, and they are pretty decent. I would almost get one before I would get an M3. Its more than powerful enough, and with the sport package, you could avoid paying your soul for insurance.
