Word around the campfire is......

A certain very nice turbocharged e30 in Southern CT (unexpectedly) lost to an ordinary, 200+ rwhp z32 TT......


that is all for now.

it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or by a mile, winning's winning.

the driver of said z32 expected to LOSE by at least 2 lengths, but in fact won by about a length.

it was a windy day, and his car, based on extreme aerodynamics originally, was easily able to slip by the flying brick.

More info on the e30... sounds like it was a turbo eta or something. My car made 240 whp with 3 compression rings last year...

[Mulholland]

racing isn't all about putting down whp guys. even straight line racing isn't 100% horsepower, or horsepower to weight. Gearing, driver capabilities, weight, horsepower, torque...

gearing/torque can win races too. And in all seriousness let us not forget drag coefficients. Aerodynamics are why our vr-4 is able to hit 187mph, even though it weighs almost 2 tons. And you can't hit 187 without enabling the electronic controlled suspension and lowering the active aero chin spoiler and rear diffuser.

You'd be suprised how much better our flying bricks fare on the highway between stock ride height and being almost on the ground. Wind under car = suck.






...plus the bimmer was way heavier coz all the bitches. He was stackin the ho's. too many bitches when you drive a bimmer. The asian chick in the 300zx only weighed 63 pounds. The 12 european supermodels in the e30 probably added like... at least 700lbs.

eruo models ftw all day long

At the end of the day, one guy goes to sleep as a ricer.

[SynSyx]

[speedhop]

I don't tend to lump supra's, rx-7's, 3000gt's, or nsx's in as ricers.... they are actual japanese sports cars.

You wouldn't be hard pressed to find many e30's, mustangs, and camaro's that outrice pretty much any of those "riceboxes" as some might call them.
