        ... and fairly unassuming looking. I can't wait to do my engine swap and give these "good ole boys" with their sound motivated camaros a real good look at my all red taillights. Bronzit is good that way. Until then, it looks like a rental car.

          Since when does an e30 look like a rental car?

                        I just (today) picked up an 89 bronzit IS faker and it's NOTHING like a rental car. My car has had a LOT of work done to it and I'll give you that bronzit isn't exactly a YELLOW m3 but our cars can move like snot if they are done right. Why do you need an engine swap? I guess a stock eta may need it but what does a krappy camero have over a decent tuned e30? power to weight & if all else fails get them in the turns. With 178rwhp it's not a lot by any means but Im sure i'll be able to hang with just about anyone (or their wallet - speeding ticket)!!!!!!

                        BTW, Bronzit is cool...

                          winston is dead on. it's all about power to weight, the europeans have always known this, thus why muscle heads hate our shit.



                          and i a drive an 86 bronzit, i personally like the color. arguing car color is just going to lead into a dead horse kicking contest, it's allllll preference.
