Conidering picking up a new toy, help me decide!

[MrX]

Had a '91 GT......Loved it......

Had an 88 GT, 96 Cobra, still have the 89 LX in my avatar.

Your GN was already FI'd from the factory, right?

The 400hp was a modest number too.

There are M3's putting out ~1000hp to the wheels.

The 10k was for rods/pistons/etc...

You have to pay to play though...

How many 1000+ hp BMW's do you know of? Cant say I know of any...... :shrug:

You can make anything make a gazillion HP, but doing it affordably and reliably is a whole different story.

You guys and your toys. NOthing like getting embarrased by a 4 cyl Daytona Shelby, eh Lug?

Cant say ive ever had that problem

I want to build a kit car once I retire from the Navy...

Either a replica Lotus Seven like this:
Simon's Locost Clubman Site

or a 2F1R (2Front 1Rear) trike with some slick bodywork
The T42 turbo

True...

I know of several 1k hp bmw's.

There's actually a guy in Lusby area that has one.

As a car enthusiast that likes to push his vehicle you have to be willing to pay to play.

I could build a 800 hp bmw with relative ease if I wanted to. It isn't that hard to do. The hardest part would be the tuning. You can get either a standalone or program the DME. There are quite a few bmw tuners out there..

Yep, horse power is cheap. Reliability costs MONEY!

That's what I'm talking about! A lotus seven with a turbocharged Ecotec would be a NICE combo! Good find.
