    Worlds most powerful E30 BMW?????

    I thought Graham Bahr had the worlds quickest E30?

    ....well he probably does but this one claims to have more power

    IMHO it didn't seem that quick

    And why people think that doing doughnuts is a sign of power

    Rather watch Graham on a circuit

    Yep, most boy racers think no traction = big power, which is why they stick percy: tyres on and leave the suspension std to make them feel quicker than they really are .

    Think Grahams would eat it for breakfast

    theres a few e30's from norway/sweden. packing absolutely huge power, the problem is despite spending loads of time effort and money on achieving the power, the approach to it is usually rubbish. low comp, massive turbo. yawn yawn. uninspiring power band. so the car just lags and then for 500rpm lights up the tyres then change gear etc etc repeat. rubbish.

    More power than grip.
    I think bmw is good for the dragstrip not for a circuit at all.
    Some people really forgot that are corners on this earth not just straightlines.
