Yeah over on the CTR forum, we're always complaining about being left in the dust by 20 year old boxes with engines hanging out the bottom.Bob_S wrote:you know the scoreIan_M wrote:I lol'd.

You would have to fold the mirrors in, and remove the heavy glovebox.
May also help to be towed by a concorde.

You would need a LOT more than that to keep with a Ruf CTR.
0-60 in 4 secs, 213mph and engine on wheels traction...and that is an 1988 version.
Check the nurburgring hotlap vid on the tube..
muahaha

I recently spoke to a bloke called Dave at BMW who told me that the new M3 is based on the E30 318is which is where it gets its great handling and glove box technology from.

1991 BMW E30 318i Neon Design Convertible (Sold)
1990 BMW E30 325i Touring (Sold)
1990 BMW E30 318IS (Sold)
1990 BMW E30 316i (RIP)
