If you had unlimited funds to build a E30 track car...

[ALYKZANDYR]

Im bored, so i ask this question, If you had a unlimited funds to build a E30 race car, what parts would you use, what would the specs be? be creative!
For me:

start with 87 M3.

Custom build V12 producing 1200-1500HP
6-speed racing trans
Install braking system from an F1 car
preform extensive weight reduction, everything not needed must go.
Full carbon fiber body panels
Full titanium structural body members,
install best racing suspension setup that money can buy.
Have BBS make me titanium versions of a wheel set of my choosing
titanium roll cage.
carbon fiber dash w/ Motec ADL
Metallic silver paint, hood left unpainted, but with glaze to protect carbon fiber from sun damage.

I like Gran Turismo, too.

would it have turbo boost and a talking computer, too?

[Jand3rson]

What about wings?

[europeanplates]

I would just buy a Groupe A car!! But if I had unlimited funds I would also have a spare car, tons of spare parts and a full semi to carry it all around.

stick or auto?

[hugh jass]

fuck, i completely forgot to ask about offensive weapons. would it have energy weapons or conventional weapons? what about nukes?

[FredK]

Nukes aren't FIA approved.

The M20B27 is an effective oil-slick generator though, especially if you retrofit the oil cooler filter housing.

stick or auto?

Electronic 4HP22 retrofit with Hurst pistol grip shifter.

Some flaws in your "design":

-If you're going for all carbon body, why on earth would you start with an M3?

-Why titanium wheels? Magnesium isn't strong enough for you?

-Why stop @ 1500hp? If turbo-era F1 cars were breaking traction @ 150mph with only 1200hp & high downforce setup, why not try to double their wheelspin? Be a man & go for 2500hp. Minimum. You want it to be fast, don't you?

-F1 brakes on an E30 would not work. You need more traction than what we could ever have to get them to generate enough friction to get the heat into the materials to actually get them to start stopping efficiently. I also enjoy some modulation ability in my pedal. Just go for a good DTM system & rip your retinas off until you're satisfied with the number of floaters you see.


Why did I bother responding to this? :roll:

[Turf1600]

1984 318i - bronzit on tan cloth
sportmaxxx wheels on stock suspension
euro grills
vomit in the ac vents

And the best for last -

Rats a la farbins old car

[FredK]

HAHAH Turf, I thought you were serious until you said Euro grills. Those have ZERO performance benefit, actually they increase drag since they have that extra slat on top of the lights.

[Jand3rson]

Why did I bother responding to this? :roll:

Same. That is the most Gran Turismo/F&F fanboy inspired build for a "racecar" I have ever seen.

Buy a Rolls-Royce turbine or 2 and slap them in the trunk, Call it a day......


Ok maybe cut the springs.
