Brilliant feat, lot of power for a stroked 3L. But, how much of that power is actually usable power and gets effectively delivered to the road?

Depending on how it's built and mapped it can be usable

A friend over in Cyprus has 720+bhp e30, it's a 2.7 m20 and it's very usable. It even still has working AC

Styling is debatable but it's epic to drive.

It runs a stock eta crank ! I'll get some pictures up later. I actually did a feature on it for PBMW magazine
