Autox, Road Course or evenly the lowly Dragstrip. Let's see them.

This was December of 2004.

Non intercooled Motronic setup. Running 16-17psi. Temp in the 30s. Good power but zero traction. Ran a 13.59 @ 109mph. Drove 460 miles round trip. How is that for trusting the car! Good times. Enchanter and MKovak were there.

I'm gonna cheat, sorta.

MoSport, 2007.
For reference, the e28 on the right is the one currently getting an s54 transplant.

Lime Rock, 2008.

Lime Rock, 2004. Not my car (it's Todd's), but it is my shot.

Why is it cheating? Well, none of my turbo cars ever saw real track time. The red car did some "hard parade laps" at Lime Rock a few times, but never anything more than that. Nonetheless, the cars above were all "at the track", so I'm posting them. :laugh:

Easiest way is to use Peter Hammerl's uploader.

Bill,

The car is plated and the engine is still on the pallet.
When it goes in it will have an ITB set up and twin disc clutch along with a fresh 265 box.
