THanks guys, Jeff, you and me both. Unfortunately this isnt my priority right now, which is why I'm sending it out to have the chassis work done so I can concentrate on getting my 5 series back together with the 400+whp LS1 setup.

It'll be interesting to see how the (turbo) 951 and the 525 compare once they're both complete.. The engine you're building for '08 will surely be above 400 whp, no? And while it (the p-car) won't have the powerband of the E34, it'll be a helluva lot lighter.

The e34 will be demolished by the new turbo engine. Not even a competition. I've already destroyed cars with 400whp on the highway.

For one, I love my 5 series, it's a great daily driver. Besides, it'll seat 5, it's lighter than the e39 and e60 (cheaper to fix too), and the LS1 is lighter than the M20B25, M30B35, or S38B36 (all of which I have sitting around), and makes more power. Point me to a downside? This will probably be the car I take on AKA Rally this summer, and if not I'll be taking my friend's e36 M3.
