      I'd buy a car that's designed and built to be driven over a car that's designed and built to get the family from point A to point B. Throwing 12k at a Tiguan is like polishing a turd. Sure it's all nice and shiny but it's still a turd.

        That goes like sh*t off a stick and sticks to the road like sh*t to a blanket!

          Or should I say 'turd'?

            I am going to get flamed here, but oh well. I wouldn't waste that sort of money on mods on a Tig. When I see them I just laugh, they remind me of a Golf that has driven into a mushroom in Super Mario Bros and has grown bigger.

              Yet you bought a pirelli when you could have waited a year or so and for the same price you could have got an R. Not a car that has tyre tread seat covers on it.

                I have yet seen one R that can beat me...They are heavier and I believe they are now having problems pushing serious power with their current haldex system..

                    It holds you better then the leather where your swimming around in the seat...well I would be swimming, I only weigh 65KG ...

                    And it's the only Pirelli part left in the Pirelli Edition (Wheels and Tyres have been sold) and replaced with ADV 5.1's and Nitto NT05

                      And better then driving a shoe manufacturer as a car, at least Pirelli are relatively involved in the car industry

                        I often see a greyish Pirelli in the morning on the way to work ..... after the Tig gave him 2 hidings (and I mean it was not even close) on 2 consecutive days, he stopped trying to chase down this silver mushroom .....

                        BTW, looked at a 2006 Z4 M Coupe today in black .... it is awesome .....

                                5.1's pretty good with the FWD, I know you've got lots of mods as I've seen the details on other threads. Tig's 5.9 atm (and an easy 1s quicker than a stock Pirelli) and with that $12K I'll be at 4.9 ..... all up less than $50K spend then ....
