    Sleeper. Those headlight intakes are the only thing that give it away from the outside, though I'm wondering how fast it actually is because that is not enough tire for 600hp. Can you even go wide open with that setup? I have wider, stickier tires and I have traction issues with maybe half the power.

    Did the car bend visibly on the dyno? E30 verts are seriously lacking in the torsional rigidity department

      This is perhaps the most delicate sleeper of all time,,,,,

      that car looks great, but the interior is NOT my taste,, the wheels are great,, the car is VERY VERY clean. and this engine is amazing,,, that force it produce is simply outstanding

      be careful,,, a convertible is very flex compared to 2d/4d cars ,, i have experience with that, as i have/had powerful engines inside (( not as your figures)) and more weight

      i salute you for this

        the car spins through third without fail. i dont push this car. mainly just cruise and some part throttle spirited pulls. will spin at part throttle. the car in vegas trapped 120 in the 1/4 and that was with the all season tires and not hooking up.

        i agree that the car lacks torsional rigidity. its not meant to be a track car. the tires are forgiving but its hard to truly feel what 600hp feels like in this car. the car is currently running at a lower boost setting and pushing about 500hp in its current state.

            Well ,, the tan in comfort is not my taste,, in sportseat it looks far better,,, and i do not like the tan at all,,,,,,, thats just my opinion,,, here in Europe it is not as common as in USA. i like black,, and thats it

              thanks for your feedback. i think the tan and blue combo is a nice touch. a little class to go with it.
