Went for a ride in a 700hp/1100kg car today..
A BMW E30 M3 with a turbocharged M5 3.8l 6-cyl engine... SICK CAR!!
The engine produces 950 hp with race fuel and 700 hp at pump fuel with low boost, 1.2 bar. All while it idled and ran like a stock car at low revs.
This car has done a mid 9 sec pass at the quarter mile....
The car went sideways in every gear and was the scariest ride I've ever been into...We were drifting all over the country road
There's no replacement for displacement huh...and more cylinders, and lots of valves, and...

Very rarely do I see a car that is better than mine. I get people gawking when I'm getting gas, as stop lights and I have paint that makes people turn away from working on it when I need a simple oil change.
That car is f-ing sick!!!!!!!!!!!! I want it, I'd trade mine for it. That is what I tried to represent with my car. An older car, built to the sickest standards and kickin' *** while looking better than any car it goes up against even though it's an older body. That car is it. That's what it's about. I have got to upgrade. Even then, that car will make me look anemic.

have a look at "streetfire.net". There are videos of a few E30s modified like this. I think they are all from Sweden. If you do a search for "gothenburg" or E30 you will find them. Don´t remember the link.
