Car Talk 4: The Richard Hertz Rent-A-Car 500

Back to car shit...

I keep thinking about the M4 vert i drove... man that was so much fun...

@Dgriff does your fake sport rev match? and does it raise the rpms so you don't stall from a stop?

wtf? This is a thing?

Yea it made the car "unstallable" and supremely easy to drive. I have never experienced this before.

is so much slower

is so much slower

Car is too fast as is. So it made it quite enjoyable to drive. I never liked the DCT in that car. It was fk'ing stupid

But 1st gear in the m4 had insane head bobbing issues unless you shift before 2500rpm, I have no idea is causing it but my M3 had that same issue in 2nd gear in the DCT. In sport mode it would get so violent it would throw you back and forth in the seat. Johnny would set the car on fire if he experienced it once.

Wow the M4 convertible weighs 4110 lbs... That's insane.. a full 600 more than my sedan did.

No and no... poverty status. But it's really easy to drive... I've never stalled it IIRC and I'm not one of these internet bros who claims to have not stalled a car in a decade or whatever, I think I've stalled the in the past year.

Interesting... I am you can "turn that off" but I am I would... it made the car a blast to drive.

I've driven with rev matching... I find heel-toe is fun but so is rev matching, both are great, selectable is ideal.

The car was just so easy to drive... I can't heel toe, yea take down my man card, but I have size 14 shoes so I'd rather not do acrobatics down there while going

I do enjoy rev matching at points... but man this was just next level. Almost every shift is buttery smooth. And you can enjoy the gears as they are all pretty damn short 6th is 2700rpm on @ 70 it was 2300 in the DCT.

Mine is similar, the first couple of gears are shortish which definitely makes the lower power still fun.

You ever try heel toeing with the ball of your foot instead of your actual heel? It's a lot easier for me with size 12. Heel toe is tricky but kinda gratifying when successful.

I did, I found it to be a hassle... I don't like touching 2 pedals with 1 foot. The crazy good thing about the M3/4 engine is the power, it basically has power from 1800-7500rpm, an immensely wide powerband that is super usable. Most cars are usually 3500-6500 or what not... this was special.

I would like to give an M2 a whirl.

Yea they are mid 40k cars... IMO if you get one with the "older" less powerful engine they should be quite reliable as well. Those motors make it to 100k no problem. I am about the M motor... as it requires more maintenance and has far more expensive replacement components... but obliviously the "enthusiast" will want ONLY THAT one.

I saw my first Exploder ST in the wild today..... it looks pretty sharp IMO ..... Given the DFD love of performance and love of I'm a little surprised that no one owns one of these or given the collective DFD a Trackhawk.....

Isn’t a Trackhawk like $80k?
That’s far outside the typical DFD mentality.

There is not one person on here who likes Fraud. Also I don't see the draw in that thing at all. 56k for a raised minivan. Everyone would much rather GT3 or M2 or countless of other cars that are much more enjoyable to drive.

Two sided dildo scene is life altering.

that was the first ultra cringe I have ever felt in my soul. I dont think i watched it until i was in college ~19-20. Wont watch the movie again. But I respect it.

Trainspotting was gripping but not as soul crushing.

Traffic really got me when the otherwise upperclass, summa cum laude teenaged girl is so fucked up she just lets her dealer do what ever he wants to her ....turned my stomach.....
