Mazur what tranny you running?

Thats some great bragging rights!

ZF tranny...top speed 135mph..woohoo!:p

[mtechnik]

True true..

[Van Westervelt]

over 140 in an e30 is just plain dumb. haha

[etxxz]

^^ in any car. Period. but, if your car's healthy there's no reason why the e30 shouln't go over 140...160...200 (wishful thinking)

I would say 160 max.

1st gear max speed-about 30

60- 3200rpm
80- 4200rpm
110- 5800rpm

My car is faster than e36 M3s, and it's just a mostly stock 2.5l.

Are you sure? I feel like my car isn't that much faster then stock.

[Mike B.]

I had no problem pulling E36 M3's on the track with my M50/E36 Getrag/3.46 diff combo.

[StereoInstaller1]

He probably was not double clutching like he should...


Nice kill story!

Blew the welds on the intake manifold, obviously.

[golde30]

Blew the rivets on his floor pans, obviously.

100% sure. I ran a few of them down on the straights at Road Atlanta last weekend.

Mostly stock can be pretty damn fast when one of my mods is custom software...

Maybe you're carrying more speed out of the corners...

[matt]

Nope.

The way it would usually go is:

1- Exit turn 5
2- point people by and lift so they can pass before 6
3- turn 6
4- more people catch me
5- turn 7
6- exit turn 7 flat in third (on to back straight)
7- shift into 4th and enter the passing zone, giving signal but not lifting
8- walk away from e36 M3 that had had a run on me coming out of turn 7
9- lift before the end of the passing zone (around 100) so they can actually pass

I could have been that a-hole in a fast car who rockets down the straights then parks it in the corners. I am still working on going fast around the WHOLE track. It's only my second weekend at RA and I'm already out of the beginner group also, so the other drivers on track with me are usually faster in the corners.

[cahomey]

i want to strip my car and feel it's full potential.

[asubimmer]

I was at road atlanta too but I wasn't driving...
