No shoes will have you sitting further back on your heels and driving through them, which involves more leg press than good morning to the squat motion. Also pulls the weight further towards the back, so less of an angle for your back to start on during the up motion.
Compared to who? Beamer / VW?
As for Jap 4s, Euro 6s and Yank V8s...I'd actually agree with that. Though I think Jap 6s have their own lovely sound up high.
Best 4 cylinder I've heard was a 2T-G in a TA22 GT with Weber 45s. Shit sounded like a miniature big block.
I'm still playing it. Have been playing a bit of Black Ops 2 on 360 again, though...it's just much more fun for me than BF4. Getting 25-0 kill scores and the fast paced movement of the game can't be replicated in the BF genre.
Prefer the snipers from BF4 though, not as much quickscoping and they usually miss if you're quick enough.
Interestingly, I've found the GTX cards to be understated in almost all graphics/games benchmark tests. Either matching them with shitty hardware or AMD been shaking hands with people!
SLK and Z4 are good fun and practical if you don't need to carry passengers. Bit overpriced new though, especially the Z4. Second hand SLK are a good bargain, speaking relatively that is.
Hadn't seen the RCF before you lads mentioned it, I like.
