EduTech Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 thought some of you out there who like "fast cars" shall we say, will enjoy looking at this VWvortex Forums: V10 E30 M3 Build Think it is pretty amazing to be honest, i dont know anything about car's to be honest.. but i know enough to know that is pretty amazing!
capncrunch Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 not bad, but i would prefer to have the Mustang that is sitting behind it in some of the pictures.
DevilsAdvocate Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Pretty awesome. That exhaust is a work of art!
ahuxham Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Thats lovely, I love the old "box" shape BMW's. Here's something else, earmarked as the worlds faster car, (Yes, faster than a Veyron) 9ff | EN | Products | Details What a lovely looking speed machine. Edited February 11, 2010 by ahuxham

It may make a higher top speed as it has very long gears, but It's claim of 0-100km in 2.9 seconds has been proven false. It would get burned off the lights by a normal M3 and it may even beat it to sixty.
ninjabeaver Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 That was sesweet to watch. Watched a few others as well. Not alot I can do with my Zafira B 140XP 1.8 Sri.
CHR1S Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 That BM is sweet, just think in original spec it put out about 190bhp, thats gonna surprise some people! Agreed the stang behind looks nice too, not quite an Elanor tho is it

Wonder what the price tag is ??
ahuxham Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 It may make a higher top speed as it has very long gears, but It's claim of 0-100km in 2.9 seconds has been proven false. It would get burned off the lights by a normal M3 and it may even beat it to sixty. I did claim fastest, which literally means top end. I may get trumped at 0-60 by an M3, but after that its all game over, still the worlds fastest car. And the price tag is circa £1.5m
capncrunch Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I appreciate that ahuxham, i just suppose for me how fast a car can go does not impress me, the fact that you will never get the chance to do 200+mph and at any road legal speeds you will get out gunned by a chav in a hot hatch seems like a Colossal waste of wonga. The fact a veyron does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and 100 in about 7 is far more impressive than a Porsche that can go 256mph to the veyrons 255mph (or what ever the actual figures are) but what ever pops your cork Edited February 11, 2010 by capncrunch

Chris_in_notts Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Yes and chav's routinely drive around in M3's. haha that made me laugh, I thought M3's did 0-60 in about 4.5 which isnt exactly that quick and I cant see you getting gunned out by many chav's if you where driving that porsche to be honest unless the chav's are loaded down your way
CHR1S Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Yes and chav's routinely drive around in M3's. They seem to go for more powerful cars round here! I have seen a turbo VR6 golf, an insane Evo thats noisier than a helicopter, oh and some idiot that has one of those little mini bikes that seem to go over 300mph
capncrunch Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Yes and chav's routinely drive around in M3's. I said and i quote... a chav in a hot hatch not sure where you got the chavs in M3's bit from? or are M3's now a hatch back? and yes 4.5 -5 seconds is not quick but that porsche has slow acceleration as it is geared so long to produce a high top speed.
CHR1S Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 and yes 4.5 -5 seconds is not quick but that porsche has slow acceleration as it is geared so long to produce a high top speed. 4.5 seconds is very quick in anyones books, is that the Porsche that was on Top Gear in the drag race episode a while back that got absolutely hammered by an Arial Atom?
ahuxham Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 4.5 seconds is very quick in anyones books, is that the Porsche that was on Top Gear in the drag race episode a while back that got absolutely hammered by an Arial Atom? Nope, The 9ff Porsche has yet to make an appearance on top gear. I want a Dubai Bugatti/9ff race off!

Yes, and only an idiot would assume that; a hot hatch is quite capable of hitting a 4 second 0-60, and the gearing ratio is rather irrelevant, IIRC spool on the 9ff is around 3650rpm, the power band on 1100+ HP would wreck havoc on any "long" gear, added state of the art traction control, lsd and the likes and I can't really see the porsche doing more than 4 seconds to 60mph

ahuxham Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 4000rpm to spool up the turbo I find this no different to whacking a massive turbo on any car, yes it can go 256 million mph but is it a one trick poney? I guess compared to the Veyron I don't see it as an everyday car, more either a track day or weekend car. You're right on the spool, but the size of the Turbos simply limit this, if you were driving this how it was meant to be driven I can't see how you'd drop below spool range It's also about controlling and harnessing the power, I guess you could drive the car at its limits and never really worry about internals, oil issues, temps and the likes as its been produced in such a way. So yes, a one trick pony, but a very nice pony

capncrunch Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 4.5 seconds is very quick in anyones books, is that the Porsche that was on Top Gear in the drag race episode a while back that got absolutely hammered by an Arial Atom? Actually yes it was, that was the 9ff GT9 getting hammered by the Ariel Atom on top gear and the Lambo... and the corvette. Basically 980 bhp in the original was not enough (0-60 in 5.2 seconds?!?!? what was that about power, havoc and gearing?) so they have made the 9ff GT9-R with an extra 200bhp on top (which is the new one ahuxham link) I'm not denying when you get Past 80-90mph that it goes like preverbial off a shovel on veyron beating proportions, but they make you wait for it while the rest pass by. 1
CHR1S Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 And I will still go out on a limb and say for 99% of all applications the car is pointless!! How would it fair againsed a 1000+hp Skyline round a track? especially a short and twisty one! Its a perfect NASCAR fast in a big circle lol
