Turbo e30 - Tall.

I know this is over the price limit by $1500, but I thought it would be worth posting, as the owner is interested in trading for a Miata. Knowing how many Miatas owners are on this board, I'm thinking someone has a nice Miata that they have ~$2k in that this guy would take in trade. That would make the e30 a ~$2k car!

As usual, not mine.

Secksee

12.9 quarter mile on 8lbs of boost? That sounds.... close to unbelievable.

but it's got a MASSIVE INTERCOOLER y0!

10% interwebz rule...numbers that make something sound good are always 10% in the other direction...

i.e. 12.9 secs + 1.29 interwebz rule = 14.2 secs (fast, but not ZOMG FAAASSSST)

at

8lbs + .8 IW rule = 9 lbs (getting too high to be streetable)

Actually, it is $1491 out of budget.
