Million dollar 1913 Peerless roadster blows up on dyno

[lateapex31]

What the hell happened in this thread?

The Peerless owner should blame the craptastic DynoJet. What a piece of shit. We've had vehicles as low as 1.5 wheel HP produce a fine looking graph out of our Dyno Dynamics. 50 HP shouldn't have been any problem.

Oh, and BTW, 4 door E30 > 2 door (non M car). End of discussion.

^^My crappy 4 door....god it sucks so bad because it has back doors!!

And a Z32? Jesus christ himself couldn't have designed a shittier car. Ever look at the engine bay on one of them?! Japan is embarrassed to have produced such a vehicle.

If you buy another, I sincerely reccomend upgrading to a Z32 TT. Some of the ones with high miles are getting fairly inexpensive these days (I picked mine up for $5800). Even a Virgin Z32 TT with low miles is still less than $25k.

Only jap car I'd buy from the 90s would be an FD.

Then add an LS6.

FDs are nice. and an FD + LS6 = AWESOMESAUCE

Lets see this 4 door race car of yours. I'm very interested. Post up some factory team e30's as well. I've only seen coupes. Someone should have told BMW that the winning-est touring car of all time would have been better if it was a 4 door.

That was cute. I don't recall saying I had a race car though. I do recall saying that I have heard from many sources (a BMW and ASE Master Tech who has been in the business for nearly twenty years and who currently owns a race shop in NC being one of them) remark about the E30 sedan chassis being significantly stronger than the E30 coupe chassis. That I do, most certainly, recall saying.

Functionality? The back seat of a 4-dr e30 is a joke. I know because I've sat in one.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry then. I didn't know you had actually sat in one before. I mean I own one and transport things big and small in it, so I clearly have no room to speak to teh E30 MasToR. Just my opinion though, the E30 sedan has a spacious rear seat that doesn't compromise trunk space. I would honestly say that it rivals that of an E34. Do you know what an E34 is? Have you sat in one?

Do yourself a favor and go fill out one of these, it'll make you feel better

Do yourself a favor, go out and buy the car before you critique it.

Damn I drive a 4 door eta :(

I know, me too. :(

Thanks for your apology. I'm guessing you didn't know that I've driven a 4dr E30 5spd. Oh, I've also drivena 2dr E30. I like the 2dr better And the back seat of an E30 sedan does not rival an E34 or even an E28. And I will buy an E30 when I find one I like for sale (one of the reasons I joined this site).....but not an E30 sedan. Also, I'm pretty sure I can criticize a car after driving it. I don't need to own one to make judgements.

Whoa Whoa Jeezus.

You mean you drove said E30 sedan too! When I say you should buy one, I mean you should buy it and use it on a day-to-day basis, hauling shit to and fro. You clearly haven't, so you clearly have no idea what you are talking about (outside of basic Z-car stuff.)

DIAF.

Never got that email.

I guess this would be forum #26 I am a member of. I suppose I need to update my lists.

I am saddened to see that this thread went so terribly off topic without any moderation, I suppose that is the OP's fault for not putting it in the correct forum.

My "Introduction Video" was a way for me to encourage (or annoy) people into creating an account on my site. As you can see with nearly 13,000 members it has not be an unsuccessful campaign.

Regardless, surely you must have figured that I dont actually maintain "active" accounts on 25 forums, but I am registered. My social life, you have no idea, I work 50 hours a week for a LeMans race team, and thats before I even touch 1 of the now "26" web forums I am a member of, while also attending 6 cars meets a week.

This is my first and last post on this site, so an email will be necessary to get ahold of me. Your witty remark wont be read by me so we will see who has the "social life" by who has the time to write a response to a man who will never read it.

The thread is indeed of an extraordinary nature, but if it is not of your interest, then you should keep your off-topic remarks for another thread. This derailment is a text-book example of a site full of cliques and immature members. I am sure there are many among you who are mature and would not act in the way that the few have in this thread, so I dont speak to them or the owners of this site whom I am sure are decent and honest people.

You all have no idea how hard it is to manage a large web community.

Respect your moderators and admins, they are here for you.

As for me, I will keep doing what I do best.

Yes, I've driven one.
And No thanks to buying an E30 sedan as a "hauling vehicle" I've got my civic for "hauling shit". If I really wanted to "haul" alot of shit "to and fro", I'd buy a pickup truck or a van. The more you post, the less sense you make to me.

But you got my PM ;)


Oh, by the way....you should probably keep your distance from me, because apparently all Z-owners are cocky fucktards.
