    Yes I know him, Ive driven the car.

    A british guy built the car, it was originally Alpine. He was having trouble tuning it, not sure if he got it ironed out. No guages whatsoever. I kept telling him he needs a wideband, that motor's on borrowed time.

    Found it.

              He probably saw 100mph. Sounded perfect to me. I could here the turbo spooling over my left shoulder. He flew passed me on the left. That confirmed the turbo. He was first at the next light or I would have raced him off the line. I was behind other cars.

                m20 vs turbo s5x isn't a race, and with traffic it's just two people being asshats.

                        soo.... he's full of shit?

                        nobody "tuning" a turbo with no wideband is making 400whp, unless by some miracle or act of god.

                            Could have only been 300 or so. Was still fast as hell, and in an E30 M3. Was a cool grocery getter. I was on a "stone crab" run to Penn Dutch. Yummm.

                              The previous owner claimed that power. It certainly wasnt anywhere near that when I last saw it 3 weeks ago.

                              Id wish he would just buy a 240sx to abuse, and sell me the M3 so I can bring it back to original.
