E90 M3 vs E30 s52

[emmanuel.dlc]

the rsx ran with 3 of us, me having 210whp m50 (e30), another e30 with s50 also 210.... it played with us for the most part

with Fernflex's car was a different story, it was a no contest. i drove the car on the same night and that mofo is a fast brick, it pulls strong all the way up to 5th.

although the car might have too much diff it accelerate just fine (if the right modulation of the throttle is given). anyways... i'm pretty sure that with better tires and maybe a 3.25 the story will be turned around.

EDIT: for all you guys info, here at PR there's a bunch of rsx's with over 250whp... so, they are fast...

we spanked one! super dirty!

[Fernflex]

I like k20's a lot, it is an amazing engine. A high rev engine with hondata and couple of mods making 250+whp. We even have a couple of k24.

I'm pretty sure Jink was kidding..

[matthugie]

I hope he was, I've walked an RSX in my full interior s52 car in a 2nd-4th run. He was definitely stock though.

congrats. it's fun to shame way more expensive sport cars.
btw hold your phone sideways when taking pics/vids.

Holding up right is a 90's thing with crappy flip phones.
Get more races! :)

Your spining gears all the way to 4th if you dont pedal it right...

sounds like you need a refreshed diff:p

This thread gave me a good laugh...thank you.

This reminds me of the one time I beat an E92 M3 in my E30 w/ an S52.

You should have pushed the accelerator harder man.

[e30trooper]

yea im serious are you?

A refreshed chipped m20 would run with a stock rsx_s easy....

sounds like you need a better tires:p

Im running Bbs rx204 17x8 et38 with some cheap Toyo 235/40/17 the tire says 180 treadwear. I have to check the psi of the tires becaise maybe is to high. I have a 16x8 style 5 for the track but Im not sure if they will hold the power!

Today im running my first track day event since doing the swap, still with the cheap tires, stock pads and trying to install the brake ducts before arriving. Im also gonna be running the e90 m3 in the video.

Thats a cute race. Doesn't seem like your doing more than 80mph
