FUCK ME!! I love this car! Seen a few vids of it before.
I love the casual laid back, bearded driver with a good 900bhp (i'd guestimate) on tap!
Love it. It looks like the standard block, head and intake manifold of the 325i too! (which i own half of at home) now where can i go about getting a lorry turbo!

Yeah, ive seen vids of that car dragging, and i think its in the low 10's, you need quite a few ponies to do that!
In most of the drag racing meets, i seem to remember it being that E30 against a red E36 M3 turbo, and an E36 blue Turbo, both of which are in the 600+ bhp range.

400 bhp, pah, that thing goes of the fuckin clock in like 20 seconds!

Crapping pants, that's one big turbo!
It doesn't seem very drivable though. The boost kicks in very suddenly and then it's wheelspin all the way. Still very cool to see...

Hahaha that's insane, you gotta love the Scandanavians. You wouldn't stand in front of that, you'd prob get sucked in, lol. Wonder what sort of boost pressure he was running...looks like the standard head on the engine?

Which drag vids have you seen? I'm not so sure, its not the killander one, which has the turbo m5 engine and the m3 arches. Which i think is the most powerfull e30 at about 8-900bhp?
