No tune...and that was with no mods, just a bone stock, 153K S52 (with old oil and old plugs)...BMW claimed the 3.2 made 240 hp....in 1999, hence my doubt that the R/T dyno is accurate.

I think my best time that weekend was a mid-20.

As I said above, car was bone stock. I don't think for one second that my car is actually putting 220 down, not even with new plugs, fresh oil, intake and exhaust...It's probably making closer to 210 as it runs now.

I think it's more about making sure customers have higher numbers to brag about while hard parking.

Maybe modern day AK > AR. I remember reading testimonials of soldiers that would NEVER shoot another soldiers AK. They all always shot to a different direction than the other!

ARs are very nice, but what are the chance to going out to shoot them? All I want is that damn elusive HK USP Subcompact, and a nice shotgun. Went to Dick's with my brother in-law last night so he could buy this Beretta shotgun that was on sale. Was originally 1500, but on sale for 800. He got lucky because someone was there for it, but got denied because the saleman said he smelled alcohol on the guy's breath!

the hell is he buying a 1k shotty for! Ballin

Are you trying to ccw the pistol or just take it to the range here and there? The usp's are awesome but they are HUGE for a polymer pistol. Plus the aftermarket sucks for all hk's. Theyre not that elusive either. I was at claytons on sunday and they had a uspc 40 and a uspc 9. think 600 for the 40 used and 895 for the 9 used

Subtle "they wouldn't let me buy the gun cause I was drunk" post.




My buddy has multiple Beretta's, if you like to shoot shotguns, thats what you buy.

It was a nice shotty. Very light compared to the Remington he has, and was a semi auto. His friend Anthony has a really ncie one, which costed $2500. My bro-in-law is big into guns. He has a pretty nice collection.

I don't carry. Just want it for the range, and sleep next to . When I said elusive, I meant for my wallet.

Yea, when I went to the range the polymer shotties were def easier to handle but they didnt have that signature pump action sound. That **** sounds bad ***

The pump action is cool...until you're actually trying to hit multiple moving targets in a short amount of time. I also have short arms. So to be holding the gun comfortably, I'm don't have full grasp on the pump. Woe is me!

I don't think that is particular to the AK...it might be worse than other weapons, but back in the early-to-mid-90s (when most of y'all were still in diapers), I was in the Army....If I picked up a squad members M16 I could get [maybe] a 25/40 without resighting the weapon...and I wasn't a bad shooter, qualifying at 38 or 39 each time.

i had HK USP 40. i agree it was too thick to carry, one of the reason i sold it. it was a nice shooting gun though.

I did a little shooting at the end of July at a family reunion and did well. It was maybe the second time and we were shooting a small 22 rifle. I was hitting some shell casings from about 30ish yards away which was kind of cool. I know very little about guns but it sure is fun working on your accuracy.
