thought i would take the old girl for a spin today, we had to go to dereham to see our wedding photographer so i said i would take my car much to the missus suprise, this is the first chance i have had to see what she can do winkeye ....... so we are on the slip road to get on to the a47 and im in 4th so i plant my foot ....... then i change to 5th..... i wont disclose the speed i was doing but i was going past cars like they were going backwards..... i have been told by a zoner that a good 2.5 running on a 320 diff will do 142 on the limiter(speedo rating) i have no reason to doubt him.
most cars start to slow down at certain high speeds... for my car this is not the case, even at 90 and i plant my foot in 5th it pushes my back into the seat.... it feels good to own a e30 320 lmao.
