    Default IRL Powered BMW e30...11,000 RPM's

    3.5L V8 530hp @ 11,000 RPM's

    It's quick but crashed and burned earlier this year. The styling is a little over the top but the powertrain makes up for it lol!

    The videos at the bottom say it all...

    Reckberg is Austria's biggest motorsport event.


    I guess this is what they needed to compete with the JUDD powered machine of George Plasa.

    George Plasa is always driving something crazy...like 10,000 RPM V8's lol!

    Even the best of them crash though!

    The rear spring must have unseated midair after jumping the bank and jammed the rear tire otherwise he probably wouldn't have gone off the other side...

    I guess because unlike Speedminded and me, you are not trying to find a silhouette race solution for the run to the shops.

    Yep and been trying to find those wheels for days

    4 lug 5 lug whatever...not like that REALLY has an effect on anything as long as you're using high grade studs or lug bolts.

    Tinted lexan or polycarbonate flush mounted on the outside of the frames. Trust me, I've been taking notes lol! There's no gutters on the car either so it looks considerably newer and more aerodynamic.

    This thing is serious... I wonder what made them put soo many splitters and the like on there. With the kind of budget that it looks like they have youd expect some type of method to the madness. I really dont mind the way it looks beside the front...
