Re: 01 911 coupe for 40K, maintenance

great decision, william noble;
to sell your M5 for a 911 Turbo

M5's suck, at least relative to a 911 Turbo.
they're way too heavy for a s****tscar.
relative to the sedan world, BMW M's are s****ty...but relative to the 
s****tscar world, they're only so and so - at best.
