With that much power, you'd still have a grin.
Makes the power more handleable too, E30s are tail happy normally.
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring

so i dont need to ease off or slide around the corners ,especially in the wet. my touring matched my mates evo8 when moving but from a standing start or around the bends i couldnt get near him.the handling in an mitsu evo is immense and it will take a lot to match that :D

Even with cossy running gear i think it will be hard to match a evo 8's electronically controlled diffs etc.

Just let him enjoy the view of you sideways in the rearview mirror.

intresting to see how the touring cosworth compares with my m3 cosworth in terms of handling.

Your lucky then well known for being one of the biggest bodge rip off ford tuners about with highly inflated claims, but magazines are too dumb to know anything or question the claims they beleived the hype, published it and severn valley instantly became the dogs danglies.

ps i agree T3 is no way capable of providing the sort of volume of air needed for the power figures being mentioned, another example of someone else being ripped off blindly and thanking them for it. :cry:
