I'll double that if you get the attempts on video.

In reply to mndsm:
I'll double it if I can come down with my lawn chair and beer cooler to watch/heckle you while doing it....
E36 M3 sounds like season two of buck wild 
Drive one with a stick. Use the 'sport' button. Think of it as a tossable, cheap new car with a warranty and 40MPG.
The styling, seating position, etc are all matters of preference. I like mine. I don't expect everyone to. I also like my Suburban, my 'crappy' old SAABs, Miata, Protege, etc.
I like my Sport. It's fun to drive around town and up to about 65 or so. The highway isn't great, it's quiet boring and kind of slow. But compared to the other cars of its segment it's a fine car.
In 2008,[3] the European Ka was replaced with a model developed and produced for Ford by Fiat S.p.A in conjunction with Fiat's own 500 vehicle.[21][22] The car is built in Fiat's Tychy, Poland, factory alongside the Fiat 500, Fiat Panda and Lancia Ypsilon.
The new Ka comes with a choice of two engines, a 1.2 litre petrol with 69 PS (51 kW) of power and 102 N·m (75 lbf·ft) of torque and a 1.3 litre TDCi diesel engine with 75 PS (55 kW; 74 hp) of power and 145 N·m (107 lb·ft) of torque. Both engines come with sub-120 g/km CO2 emissions (119 for the petrol and 112 for the diesel). Furthermore, a 1.4 litre petrol engine with 100 PS (74 kW) of power and 131 N·m (97 lbf·ft) of torque will be added to the lineup in the future. All three engines are loaned from Fiat.
The main mechanical differentiator between the new Ka and its Fiat sibling is that the Ford has better shock absorption than the Fiat 500. Fitting a rear anti-roll bar enabled 30 percent softer springs and accordingly retuned dampers to improve ride performance over uneven road surfaces. Some of these improvements were subsequently adopted on Fiat 500 Abarth and Fiat 500C models.[23] Changes were also made to the 500's steering geometry for the Ka, although as the new Ka uses an electrically assisted steering system, it lacks the communication of its predecessor's hydraulically assisted steering. However, the electric steering system does make the steering much lighter and more energy efficient than its predecessor.[24]
