[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[qshipq at aol.com]

Ha
The reason I passed on the E30 at t-giving Taka, cuz I was already still well familiar with flogging that car.? I co-drove?his E30 from Salt Lake City to Indy a couple months ago when he bought it with 20k on it. Plenty of seat time in that car, all the track goodies from suspention to roll bar to chip.? I'd take an urq anyday over that car, it's a much better grand touring coupe.? Thru the mountains it was just plain wheezy, but had a good predictable roll out of the back end once we got bak to sea level.? My best JNR story with teh E30 was when I took the old RS2 5ktqa to Gingermann a few years ago with big reds, rear coil overs 30mm ABT swaybar and 17in tires.? A very well built E30 couldn't bring back a 1/2 lap on the wagon in a 30minute run.? I still had the kids old french fries in the rear seat as the E30 guy inspected my ride.

An E30 needs more horsepower to overcome the newer cars.? The suspension and balance is dead nuts, but it's lack of power doesn't put it in the front of the pack anymore, even at the BMW club schools.? A better comparo would be back to back with an urq.? Which is exactly what I drove back from the airport after he dropped me in the parking lot.? Taka, the urq has much more potential in that 80's grand touring car market IMO.

Too bad Justy didn't drive the E30 M3 back to back with the other cars- I'd
like to hear how the 15-yr. old car compares to the new car and which he
thinks is more fun to drive, on the street and on the track.

Paul, you're one to talk- the 930 is pure original 911 with a sh*tload of
power put on top- manual brakes, manual steering, no electronic nannies for
anything. That's the f'ing sh*t- they drive so "pure" that is something you
don't find any more.

F you, I'm jealous. :-)
