e30 autox car. v8 vs s52 vs m52 turbo

[Brew]

S50 is heavier. The 2.8 aluminum block is the only one that may be lighter than the M20.

Yes, but the guy who started the thread was asking us to compare a turbo m50/2 to a NA s50.

Turbo engine = lag = Not good for autocross.

Just my 02 cents.

No prizes for whoever guesses my answer.

thanks 4 the feedback guys,. i'll give the 2 door some thought. i think i might have not been sure of what i really wanted. what i really want is a weekend warrior which i can auto x and get better results than my e34, but i dont really want to get rid of my vert, its the perfect second car. Plus whatver i do to the vert i can transfer to a coupe in the future when i can. ( engine, suspension )
places i auto x verts are allowed,
lag isnt good for auto x but i have seen great results from low lag turbo setups. ex : evos, sti, mazda speed miata, mr2...
but i do recognize all motor is better, and the traction issues with e30.
i dont have the space to have 3 cars, and defintely dont want my second car to be a stripped down skeleton with 1 seat , a whole bunch of bars running across my face, sitting on r's permanently.
