[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

All these closet urq owners...  Like skeletons!  Hap I currently  drive a 
completely stock motor with the euro cam, and attached a k24  to the exhaust 
manifold.  Exactly what that turbo was built for IMO.   Put another way, the 
cheapest way to take lag from an urq, and put the urq into  the 6second quick car 
territory.  I've seen all out race prepped E30M3's  take out some impressive 
cars, including my urq.  But to pass  with said M3, the level of intensity by 
that driver was so much higher, I  questioned the worth.  I was obviously having 
more fun, apparently at the  expense of his ego.  Paulie's JNR ascription 
came to mind over 10 years  ago.
 
BMW does need to change over to the quattro driveline though.  The  
stubbornness of raising a car and stabbing driveshafts thru oil pans needs some  four 
ring der tecknik.

In da  beginning, I started my Audi modding with a beautiful Zermat 
urQuattro. It was  mildly massaged with suspension, wheels/tires and some engine 
tweeks. An  aspect of life that some guys need to learn is turbo threshold/lag. You  
haven't experienced it until you drive a stock urQ. Anyways I degress. At  
several BMW track events, the modded urQ embarassed all of the E30 M3s in  
attendance. Most were modded with at least suspension. I have to admit that  the 
turbo here at altitude did give me the powah advantage but that car could  flat 
out perform the M3.

Hap, wit dakine memories not from Evahboost,  Maguire
