[ian332isport]

What car were you up against ? M3 ?

It was an AC Schnitzer E36 M3 Evo.

[Karan]

[Karan]

[jmc330i]

Thats excellent

Does seem to grip really well. And sounds well nice.

Yet more motivation to get mine finished

[E30Charlie]

Thats well impressive!! How did u host that video?

[ian332isport]

Cheers guys

It does squat nicely when you put your hoof down, and traction has never actually been a problem (unless you really provoke it )

Last time it was on the rollers, it gave 315bhp, but not sure if this was a legit, or 'tweaked' by the rolling road people....long story....

Charlie,

The video is hosted on my Tiscali web space (50 megs free when you sign up for Broadband). I just uploaded it from my PC using FTP.

Cheers,

Ian.

P.S. At the end of that 2 mile runway, it was doing 157mph (measured with GPS gear). I was pleasantly surprised how controlled it was at that speed as well. With a bit more tarmac (or concrete in this case), I reckon it would probably make 160mph, but I think that's about the limit due to the aerodynamics. You would need different gearing and a LOT more power to go much faster in a regular E30 body.

S50 in E30 > all

[e30_Turbo]

That is one rapid takeoff.....did the other guy know that was gonna happen?

I can't imagine his face... ...... .......... ....... .......... or something like that.

Were you running 1/4 mile times?

And what tyres did you have? Gotta be slicks to hold back 315 odd ponies from lighting up the rears....

[ian332isport]

I know the guy in the other car, so he knew what he was up against

Not running 1/4 mile times, just having a play really.

Tyres were 215/40/17 Bridgestone S03's when that was taken. I've just got a good launch technique

Ian.

[e30_Turbo]

Good.....try unreal.....must have a very sensitive right foot or something

Do you put yours up the strip much?

[ian332isport]

Do you put yours up the strip much?

I have only visited the Pod once.

Best time was 14 seconds dead at 100mph, but that was in full fat fighting weight with my sub box and all

Ian.

[e30_Turbo]

You fancy it this year??

trying to get the get some interest in a day at the pod in the summer......


There should be quite a few more really fast e30's this year...I just hope they can all make it at the same time...

[Toby_Unna]

WONDERFUL noise!

do you have any more soundclips or vids?

[ian332isport]

Assuming I'm not working, I would probably be up for another trip to the Pod. I work weird shifts though, so not always available.

Sorry, no more soundclips or vids at the mo. Does sound nice though

Ian.

[Davenotouring]

Ian,

Whenever you plan to go to the Pod, let me know, cos I'd be well up for seeing this car for real, and watching peoples amazement!
