How he fit the S62 in that thing is beyond me. This is a v8, not the new v10 though....

I think the turbos are overkill with those tires.

I love that car. One of my all time favorite BMW's.

Looks a little like the old 3-series in this year's USCC. I just can't get into the bodystyle myself, but can appreciate huge power in a lightweight car. I agree they will be no traction with those rubberbands on the back. That car would be stupid with some Hoosier QTP's.

depending on what it makes, i don't even know if QTP's would be enough (depending on width)

Ever thought that he's not going for a drag car? I hope he never puts drag slicks on it.

Thats what makes it even worse and overkill. He might hook on drag tires at a track. It's just going to be a smoke show on a road race track or the street, unless he is only running 2psi of boost. 1000whp in a track car isn't pretty. It will look nice at car shows though.

It looks like he is no stranger to cutting tools, so I am sure he just cut until it fit, then fabed up stuff to fit around the motor. Looks nice, but what is it supposed to do? Look good at car shows, and...

im sure they will be setting this car up for many different types of racing. it looks like they have done this sort of thing before

I did notice in the first pics with white wheels they had slick tires on there, but I doubt it will see any drag strip very much, if at all. I think it's awesome as is. Some people aren't in it for traction.

i dont think this car will hit 1000 rwhp. it sounds like it might still have stock guts. ill bet an easy 700 though
