Oh my that's defintely a s54. What transmission are they putting in? That car is going to be VERY front heavy. I think it wil loose a lot of traction in the rear.

Ill guess a 0-60 in about 4.3-4.5 assuming a good transmission goes in, a great driver, and most importantly, much better tires. Slicks maybe and it will do like 4.1

well im guessing there going to do something about the weight un-evenness. and they are putting a 6-speed in :D. and doesnt the e46 m3 have a 0-60 time of 4.5? wouldnt this thing be alot faster? i mean, it DOES weight about 800 pounds less, i think more. ??

jrhaile 10-15-2005 11:16 AM

Sounds like a badass project, but it will completely throw off the weight to power ratio now that the e30 m3 owned on! :( I would have just ran tuns of boost on the s14 haha.
