BRZ vs E30

[robgoesvroom]

I would probably use a 4.10 for buttonwillow CW, but so far that's the only track I've driven in an E30. Overall it's likely to be a better diff for track use.

28th... So close. A few friends and I are going to t-hill on the 27th.

I'm assuming you're running with NCRC, too bad it's cyclone config. I'd love to get on track with more E30s!

Cheesy has twice the displacement of a BR-Z and about 500lbs less ;) plus race brakes, tires etc... vs. a stock E30 that's down 40+hp from the BR-Z and has antiquated rear suspension and worse gearing...

Question for all you track guys from California (bay area/socal) - would a 4.10 LSD be better suited to thill and buttonwillow for a stock M20? I'm running a 3.73 LSD now and only stay in 3rd/4th gear, 2nd for turn 11. Might be going to thill on April 28 with NCRC to battle it out with my BRZ buddy again yeeeee =]

Nice! I love seeing an e30 chase down any new sports car on the track, especially with an m20 and equivalent tires wow! Weither you guys say it was the driver or the car, it's impressive either way.. and it's a combination of both.

i see the point where you can´t compare like that... it had to be the same driver with the same "purpose" ...

but what about brz x m3 e30 ? performance and "feeling" wise...

cheesy has outpaced a pretty well-driven brz at t-hill before..

it was as an extreme example of how worthless passing videos from DEs are as a measurement of vehicle performance. But if you want to take it that way, feel free.

Agreed! The title is pretty misleading, whoops. I feel that the BRZ has more performance potential than the E30 chassis, but thankfully our parts are cheaper =)

The cars only seem evenly matched because the drivers were not.

It's a nice effort, but not really any more meaningful than me lapping a GT2 at VIR in a DE in the 323 (before it was a race car).

Nice vid!
Blew my motor on that track 6 months ago...

[robgoesvroom]

Just an FYI guys, these are both our daily drivers. So I'm always happy when I get to go to the track and drive my car home, and back to school every weekday. Take care of your E30, these cars are true classics!

Buttonwillow reverse, nice! :)

Fucking awesome! Makes me want the FRS much less now that I know my car is quite evenly matched!

Now change cars and film it.
