True, also I think the is300 was auto. 15mph in 2nd isnt a sweet spot rpm wise but I was a bit impressed.

[e30trooper]

A 20mph rolling start to 70 would be nice in my alpine. Kickdown drops to 1st gear and pulls pretty well to the top of 2nd lol. After 80 its a slug.

Edwin, way to go you killed that picture

Go fuck yourself.

How hard is it really to replace your carpet in the e30? My interior is black except for the tan carpet and have always wanted to replace it but heard stories of it being a pain. Any first hand experience?

When my m20 was stock with a 4.10lsd/chip, rolling first and second gear, I was neck and neck with my friends 2008 335i till we hit 3rd and he was gone.
Same thing with some Mustang, same thing with a friend's e36 M3, and my friend's ap2 S2k.

You need a HUGE difference in torque to JET away from someone at low rolling speeds.
So all that is irrelevant man lol.

So Travis, yeah you would of left him anywhere @ speed.
1st/2nd gear pulls and letting off doesn't mean anything

yeah i know. i still took him. that's why i said i would have loved to have been on the freeway or in the canyons. he wouldn't have stood a chance.

[einstein57]

I found some kumho spt locally for 150 and they run wide so hopefully itll be a little less extreme than those pics

[ethrtyiS]

jeez that's a lot of stretch. O.o

[yert315]
