Hi,
As E30's go this has to be one of the
all time greats.
Shame they only show straight line
acceleration, as very curious as to
its 'true' handling abilities in the real
world.
Porsche GT3 RS is no slouch, watch the drivers
face in the second clip just as the E30 pulls away
from him.
Its a sort of 125k painful smirk.

What´s a proper conversion?
That V10 car has more power then a E60 M5.. Nothing wrong about that.

Hi,
DanThe- I have to disagree.
The ''Franken'' E30 M3 takes all the
E60 Parts, drive train, suspension and has
has morphed them all under the
E30 M3 Skin.
Might as well built a space frame.
The Swede's car is a S85 fitted into
a E30 M3 with modifications.
More of a challenge is some
respects.
Still each to his own.

But surely you would agree the Franken is a much better car? Regardless of cost or whats easier I would rather do it that way

No disrespect, but the Frankenauto car needs to be shown properly running. No vid yet. And how much do you think that car has cost to build? Not the average Joe's pocketmoney I guess.DanThe wrote:But surely you would agree the Franken is a much better car? Regardless of cost or whats easier I would rather do it that way
A V10 conversion will be never cheap, but the Franken is well out of everybodies reach IMHO

Hi,
DanThe- The Franken Car is not a Converted
E30 M3, its an E30 M3 Skin, over an E60 M5.
No, I still prefer the Swedes Car, of the two,
for what it is, not what its trying to be.
