Interestingly enough, the indicator that the rear spoiler wasn't getting clean airflow over it was due to the lack of bugs on it compared to the nose of the car. I have a pic of the modified sheet metal tail they made for the car in one of my books. I can't seem to find an image online, however :/

The aerodynamics and handling were diabolical in the early models, which were trying to take off at speeds above 200mph.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a mentioning of the M Roadster. I am disappoint, jalaops.

Racecar outruns stock version of car. Today, I learned...

Nope... children.

What, no C7 Z06?

Whoa, impressive gold post move right there.

YES

CP because there's a lot of late model C3s you can get with LS/LT/ZZ4/etc swaps for a cheaper price, and I think that kind of comparison is applicable since I don't consider it to be a collector's car.

You guys are just gonna "draw it out as much as you can," aren't you?

Wheels look kind of small on the car.

Something something metal fatigue with any kind of deformation.

I, for one, welcome our new lightning overlords. May their reign of tyranny continue into the ages.

The European engine isn't related to the S52. The S52 is completely unique in that it was essentially a bored and stroked version of the 2.8L M52. It's part of the reason some snooty purists don't call the US e36 M3 and early Z3Ms real M cars.

Link to said dyno plots for these 300hp cam-only S52s? Sorry, but I find it to be a load of crap when I've seen S52 cars with schrick cams, M50 manifold, intake and headerback exhaust make maybe 290hp at best. It would be cheaper just to go forced induction to get numbers equal to or better than an S54.

There's no way in hell you're making S54 numbers with just cams on an S52.

Nope. This is what makes my heart flutter.

Nope. This is still the winner in my heart.

THE HEADLIGHT INTAKES ARE FAKE ON THE RACECAR?!?!?!

Got mine with similar miles, Estoril Blue, and sunroof delete a couple years back for ~$24k. It's crazy how the prices have gone up.
