It was white and his cousin had a black one. Their super small he only got it upto like 5krpm cause it's still being broken in. But pulled pretty nice I wonder what that 7400rpm redline feels likeOriginally posted by blunttechr3v does not fuck around. First you get banned, then they shoot youComment

Unless it's the size of a skateboard I just can't get excited for 160ish HP.

It's rated at 200hp and like 150ish tq. Its definely a step
Down from his dyno tuned Evo that put down 370whp. But he said he got sick of the sucky mpg and went this route. It's a pretty fun ride!Originally posted by blunttechr3v does not fuck around. First you get banned, then they shoot youComment

The people who say they don't have enough power are missing the point. Its all about balance with this car.
Joel I bet the BRZ would give your e30 a beating around a tight Autocross track and it'd even be close around a really tight roadcourse.clutchCTRL!Move with a purpose.- 1991 325iX 4dr/5spd- 1976 2002 SlickTop/2.7i M20/G260- 2000 323i AT2016 Mazda CX3 Sport AWDComment

BRZ:
200hp/170lbs
2600-2700lbs
53/47 weight distribution
215 tires
my car:
450-470hp
2700-2800lbs
50/50 weight distribution (stock 318iS is 53/47 but my tranny is heavier and farther back, the engine is lighter, so that's a guestimate)
215 tires
I just don't see how since I get it's 7k RPM power at 2k RPM, it could take me. The 7 second 0-60 doesn't do it any favors. The reviewers tend to just like how controllable it is, so if you've never had a fun car and want something new you could get it. But anyone who has an s50 e30 will probably have the same feelings.

This is true. Car handles amazing! Better than his Evo I would say.Originally posted by blunttechr3v does not fuck around. First you get banned, then they shoot youComment

My bad, 160 at the wheel, 200 is the rated power. You right.
Explain this for me, here's why I question it:

250hp
2600-2700

And still probably faster around a track then your car. I'm not seeing your point.Comment
