Good for you.
I do realize that everybody's driving habbits are different. That's why I gave an example of 3 different cars driven by ME on the same commute.

On top of that 3450lbs 268hp Camry traps at 99.9mph in 1/4 mile. Something to be said about the accuracy of horsepower rating on Infiniti.

The big delta on the turbo model is the direct injection feature...

This helps maximize efficiency of the burn and reduces combustion temps. BMW can bump the boost by adding direct injection.

I'm just waiting to see what Dinan does with the Turbo... Might make the M3 the girlie car.
