      Yerp.

      Wrong.

      Sorry bro's. I've no need to lie to any of you. I know few of the people on here. I'm not here to impress anyone. Hell, come to madison. We'll take you for a spin in this E30. It pulls a wheel up. it's really not that hard to do. Did it in my truck if I was really getting on her. that had built motor an I only had 335's in the rear...

      YEAH, BRO. Fuck, whats with you people lately. This place has turned into a shirt storm of fucking honda attitude. Come to Madison, you won't though. Too much work, or some whiny ass excuse.

      Flame war? ;)

      I believe this E30 is a monster and does circles around almost anything, but I cant see how it will lift wheel. How wide are the rear tires? Compound? Does he burn rubber, back up onto the still hot rubber, and launch on that? Thats about the only way it can happen. Not to menton the 50/50 weight dist. would seriously hinder any possibility, ever, of lifting.

      Video of a 936whp E36. Not that much bigger than an E30. Plus he had an additional ~400hp more than this e30 you speak of, so any weight difference would be negligible. And, he is on a track, likely using race compound. The best scenario for a street car

      It squats, but never actually lifts off the ground. He would need tub tires to get any chance at lifting.

      I like built NA, I just wish it was cost-allowing for BMWs. Too much $$ for too little. SBC on the other hand....:)

        Internet rules everyone. Pics or it didn't happen. Then there's no flaming, no crappy attitudes. Yeah, the claims are a bit outlandish, but its possible. Make with the proof and bam, problem solved.

        NA motors are cool. It's harder to make the power, but crazy NA power always sounds good. Turbo is kind of an easy way out, but damn its easy.

            I think it'd be easier to snap a 10 second picture on a smart phone and upload it to youtube...I may be wrong, but that sounds really simple.

              Youd think. But he'll say it was edited, or that it skipped it, out his mom called him for dinner. I'm past this now.

                I'd take a euro s50 over an s54, simply for the ease of swapping. They've got similar HP output, and dont the S54s have a lot of quirky issues with the valves and such?

                                    The V10 really doesn't impress me at all. Sure its cool being like an F1 motor an all, but it really has lack luster performance unless you are redlining it all the time. No torque or even engine noise until 5k rpm's and up on the tach. The S65 has slightly less peak torque (320 lb·ft vs 384), but it comes in at 3750 rpm vs 6100! Plus it even has a slightly higher rpm, gives you the v8 growl with the v10 whine.

                                    Can't really hear the downshifts, but they are glorious in person
