as a new kid, I'd say Fuzzy's has got to be in the list too
from a fellow YB lover
oh, and keep an eye out for new boy SPADGE, he'll no doubt come up with something pretty rapid given his previous..

Glenn's M5 V8 powered beast will be a quick bit of kit when it's done.
Dips seems to have a rather large collection of special E30's
Toby's M30 Turbo is no snail I would guess
Buster has just finished his Mpower transplant too
23rd september at the pod will reveal a few I would think

thats because they have grown out of messed around with old cars...
my dad used to be a car nut. he had a few e30"s/yank motors and lotus cortinas etc back in the day, which he used to race. he doesnt like cars much now.
ive no doubt you will be poilishing your same car in ten years time. yawn......

i dont think mine would be near the top as its 'only' 292bhp

i think the other 2 cossied e30's on the zone are of a higher spec but i would imagine its one of the big v8 or v12 beasts

I'm going to go with fozzy monster or Ant if he is Holset powered by then
Logic: They have a little bit of lag, so that they don't get too much wheelspin off the line, then all hell breaks loose.(subsequently breaking loose) hmm logic flawed

BTH i think the only way to have the fastest/most powerful E30 is to put a super charged S54 in the bay.
Its the best of everything!

would say toss up between Karan's s38, Glenn's M5 and dips' V12 monsta I think. All around the 400 pony mark. Hard call as they are all cracking engines. Toby get up to 10psi and it should see about the same power!

The "Fastsest" on the day will most likely not be the most powerful. Its going to be a combination of grip, power and who's driving!!! But imo something with between 380/400bhp will be the best combo out there. Too much power i.e over 400bhp is just going to be spinning up for the best part of the qtr mile which will cost it dearly.

i ve seen 600hp m20 do 9 sec 1/4 and that wasnt spinning, think he had radials on stock sized steels but cant rember may he been bottle tops, people over 400 hp wont just be spining if they can drive well or have some kind of launch control
Re:

even with my modest power compaired to the big guns i can still feel the back end trying to break out at full boost,trying to keep 600 bhp under control must be a nightmare.isnt 9 second quarters for drag racers with serious power etc?
