Got that right

**xsperf** · 09-21-2005, 12:13 AM

nope, wont throw any rods, did you read the thing, it said each rod can stand up to 250 hp.. that means they can withstand 1500 horsepower! wow

yes I read, but unless I missed it, they never mentioned if that was a max load or a sustained load of 250HP. Over time the metal will stretch and weaken... eventually breaking. I am sure they engineered it for prolonged use, but it all comes down to weather or not the operator is treating the car with proper care. IE letting the engine cool down after a hard run and giving proper warm up time.

That engine just looks like heaven

But 22.800 USD looks like hell, lol

Where are the tits?

why do people try to use this rediculously homo new lingo crap?

1000hp? pretty useless unless you put some wrinklewalls on it and a wheelie bar and just drag it...the 3 series is too small for that kind of power...but it sounds like tons of fun...i mean its the anus...or whatever

**RealBmw 02** · 09-21-2005, 02:29 AM

^^well some people (not in the US that is) are into doing runs from say 50mph up to 150 mph. I personally think it is way too much un-needed power. But still would be great fun to have as a toy. But for 22k it is a very expensive toy at that

**spiff** · 09-21-2005, 02:40 AM

at the bmw shopped i interned at over the summer, the owner, had a track Euro 3.2L S50 engine running 438hp..

**RealBmw 02** · 09-21-2005, 02:42 AM

i think around 500 would be just right for track. with 1000 you would be changing rear tires way too much and would loose races cause of that

**spiff** · 09-21-2005, 02:54 AM

with 1000hp itd be impossible to keep your car planted, itd be like that GSXr Gokart...

i think 500 is perfect...id almost just prefer 400 in an E36 M3 over anything else.

**RealBmw 02** · 09-21-2005, 02:57 AM

I would prefer a !

**spiff** · 09-21-2005, 03:03 AM

Nah B, ! would make your car flip when you turned the ignition, not to mention window on the papers on your desk. ! = 300 watts to the wheels.
