Here's an idea:




I bet that'll be fun.

Or a senator, or an LC.

Well, you could.. only they're building this chassis specifically around a BMW donor (Engine, gearbox, diff, column etc all from the donor)

Still I bet it'll be a riot, although arguably not as nutty as the turbocharged bike engined version..

M3 E46 engine by the looks, 343 BHP from a N/A 3.2 straight 6

Correct Del (good eye!)

why do the exhaust pipes on 5 & 6 cross over?

[aaronjb]

Not a clue I'd say they were aiming for equal length primaries and with the chassis in the way at the back had to do that to keep them the same length as 4.. but then 1, 2 & 3 seem considerably shorter at first glance, so.. not a clue

I reckon it'd be a bit "plough straight aheady" with that great lardy donk up front.

Still, the straight bits would indeed be fun.

[albitz]

Yep, permanent terminal understeer and break all traction. would still be a hoot though.

[tunnie]

Yup thats going to be quick in a straight line, but a seat in it & away you go!

For as long as the conrods hold up!

I would think a small block all alloy V8 would be lighter and sit a little further back in the engine bay improving balance.

So yeh, not a great choice realy!

At the end of the day, a car like that needs to go round corners as thats where the fun is!

[albitz]

I suppose power induced oversteer to counteract the tendency to understeer would be the way to have fun with it.

Not something you want to do on a light car though realy....and certainly not somehting to do on the road
