That's a crazy wing on that E30. I wonder how much downforce it generates. Both of those guys seem to be excellent drivers.
That's a fun video to watch...thanks for posting it. I love how the E36 gets him on the straight each time and then he out brakes him into the corner.

That's Mike Akard. It's a 318is (I believe) that got completely built. It has a Euro S50B28, destroked to run in DM.Comment

Its funny how much later Akard can brake then the e36, and how he doesn't even have to bother with apexing and still can't be caught.Comment

Quite the opposite. You did see him get passed at 11:50 right? Watts has no need to brake late when he knows he can catch up whatever gap Akard has made on the straight. In the thread over on bfc, Watts admits he was saving tires and brakes while merely following Akard. Akard isnt apexing cause he cant get the car there. He's drifting all over the place, I believe it was his first time out on a new suspension setup as well as old slicks.Originally posted by Jordan View Post
As for the wing comment. This isnt F&F. Wings make a huge difference in Mod cars that carry such high speeds in the corners, especially at Roebling, which is nothing but high speed corners.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.Comment

Akard's car is much lighter as well allowing it to brake a bit later.
It's still hella fast for a DMod car. It shouldn't be running with the CMod front runners, but it is, and that alone is impressive.sigpic
DE's are a tease.

He does pretty well in that antiquated e30 with its obsolete suspension.Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3Comment

I realize that. It was a serious question; the downforce must be crazy with that thing.Originally posted by madjurgen View Post

What do you want to know? His car is very similar to my car. The only thing B30 about his motor is the crank, the rest is B32.Originally posted by SA E30 View PostComment
