boost monkey 0 Posted June 21, 2008 yeah, sideways! :shock: :cuckoo: :clap: you love the passive rear steer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaK 0 Posted June 21, 2008 im driving a 320d coupe at the moment, its not very quick. Way to burst my bubble dude! :sad: :lol: Oh, well, will have to find another yardstick car that I can be happy to equal :wink: BMW E36 325i... most who drive these are youngish lads who want to be gangsters, covered in jewellery with a 'hook wrist' on the steering wheel, etc, etc... They HATE it when they lose (especially to a girl, haha!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted June 21, 2008 325s aren't quick either though, only about 170hp iirc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Yep, at least look for the 328i with the derestricted inlet, good for about 220 bhp. It's considered the baby M3 of it's day. Of course, still weighs 1.5 tonnes.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF I had too much time on my hands I might actually draw up an expected 'league table' of cars around the C, collated from other posts... But I don't. And it would be a bit puerile. Not that that's stopped me before :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted June 21, 2008 imho, that would be pretty gay. But then my list would comprise of: to name but a few :brickwall: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted June 21, 2008 I remember absolutely destroying a 528i in my first VR- he wasn't happy at all :lol: Slightly more power than a standard VR, but as said earlier, heavier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Mmm, seems like the older ones are 170hp and the newer ones are 190, depending on year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
projectgingawarrior 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Then I thought I'd look up the spec on a 320d, and it has 250lb-ft of torque! :shock: I can only assume that his limited revs forced him to make a gear change whereas I sat in glorious 3rd all the way - I can't be running that kind of torque... can I? :nuts: :grin: :clap: my old g60 made 275lb/ft with a jabba r1 charger, remap, 4-2-1 manifold and a de-cat s/s exhaust.

Guest Posted July 9, 2008 And my G60 is more than a match for my mates Cupra R Leon :lol: much to his disgust as a 2.5k car out handles and out drags his 10k one :grin: it also eats renualt sport 172`s i discovered the other day :grin: which are waaaaaaaaay lighter than a corrado, chav boy in it werent happy :lol: fairy muff its not quite a standard G60 but its only got a de cat exhaust and a stage 4 charger Alot of its down to the driver, even if its a much more powerfull car :salute: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTWG60 0 Posted July 9, 2008 my old g60 made 275lb/ft with a jabba r1 charger, remap, 4-2-1 manifold and a de-cat s/s exhaust. Of course it did. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaK 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Looks like I'll be needing a 4-2-1 manifold then if it'll give me an extra 80lb/ft on top of the already extensive engine mod list :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
