"The M3's V8 powerplant has two more cylinders than its predecessor, delivering 420 hp from 4.0 litters and maximum torque of 295 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm. In keeping with BMW's high-revving "M" tradition, maximum engine speed is 8,300 rpm. The engine is the lightest V8 in the world, weighing less than the previous M3's inline-six."
The M3 will target the Lexus IS-F, Audi RS5, and Mercedes CLK63 AMG.
A convertible version is set to come out late 2008, but who cares about that.

30 Rock: Katrina Bowden as Cerie
Here is Katrina Bowden who plays Cerie on one of the only decent tv shows on right now, 30 Rock. She has a pretty small role in the show, but I guess they just have her on so we stay interested when there is a lot of dialog or boring plot developments. Oh well, we're perfectly happy to play along.

Road Test: 2008 Porsche 911 GT2
This beast sports a twin-turbocharged flat 6 that produces an impressive 530hp @ 6500rpm and 505 lb-ft torque @ 2200-4500rpm, rocketing it from 0-60mph in only 3.6-seconds.
"Just when it seems that Porsche might have lost its soul building SUVs and planning the forthcoming Panamera four-door, the company announces a car like the new 530-horsepower 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 and vividly reasserts its claim to being the best builder of sports cars in the known universe"

Fifth Gear: BMW Z4M
The new Z4M is pretty much just the old Z4 but with the M3 engine under the hood. That means 333hp + Miata sized car = very fast. I prefer the M Coupe though.. What do you think?

Fifth Gear: BMW M3 vs. M3 CSL
If you thought the M3 couldn't get any better.. well, it can. I'd take either one of these beauties. But the CSL was limited to just 500 units... rein rown. Cup holders would be nice too.

Free TV Shows and Movies Anyone?
Ever want unlimited access to an endless collection of cartoons, TV shows, anime, movies, music videos, sports videos, and documentaries? Well, me too. And I can. At Alluc.org you get to have this privilege and all for just the easy one time payment of free. Amazing right? Yes, but the downside is that some of the videos turn out to be dead links, different language, split into several parts, and over all less then stellar quality. The movies are usually sniped from movie theaters, so if you can handle putting up with all this, and I know you can, then you're welcome. The TV shows, music videos, and all that are usually pretty decent quality.

Clark And Michael
Clark And Michael are Clark Duke (Greek, Superbad) and Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Superbad) It is a 10 episode online series with CBS that takes the form of a mockumentary chronicling Clark and Michaels efforts to pitch a script to various studios. If you like Arrested Development or Superbad, you'll definitely enjoy this series. The deadpan comedy and subtleties that Cera brings to all his projects are what make this series just so damn good. He does stuff like his own version of the little glances toward the camera that you find delivered by David Brent (Manager) in the british version of The Office.
Interesting fact: Michael Cera is actually from Brampton Ontario.
Check out all 10 episodes at the official website.
