Thinking of bailing out on my ED30!!!!

[jonnyc]

I'm with you on the 135i though, something I am seriously considering after the ED30 goes. But i've not heard of a standard one going near 12.6 in this country?  I'm quite friendly with the lads in the E90 forums and the quickest 335i on their (450bhp) @ Pod is 12.6 @ 118mph

My friend has one, completely stock and when we ran it at Santa Pod I ran a 13.3 @ 107 mph.. Not a chance of getting a 12.6.. Even mapped cars with exhaust etc etc would just about get a 12.6 as you have said..

Fastest time I know of is a car running race fuel and NOS with big drag slicks and that did an 11.2

Yes, but my ED30 already passes CSL's and can keep up with the E92 M3.

To get anything faster in a Porsche I'd have to go for the Turbo and upgrades for both these cars are stupidly expensive and they chew through consumables at a rate of knots too and so are expensive to run on track.

In the video of me on the 'ring I overtook both a Porsche and a CSL, both weren't hanging about, but you can see how easily it was to catch up and go around them!!
I want something that would be so fast it would do that to MY car

To be fair John, unless you spend big £'s or get something very lightweight and basically mainly suited as a track car with no creature comforts, I reckon you're going to struggle..  

[tony_danza]

You reckon your car would lap faster than a sorted CSL? Genuine question, same driver, same track. I honestly can't see it, but then I haven't driven yours or a CSL around the Ring at 10/10ths.

There's also the point that you've a £40k+ car worth £18k and going down, where as that would be a £25k CSL and still worth £25k in a few years time when you're bored, because of its rarity... it might be more on consumables, but it's a darn site less in depreciation and dead money. Likewise a 'lost all its money already' Porsche.

Why does it have to be the fastest thing on the track?

Not trying to rain on your parade here, but when we're talking the level in performance and money you're thinking - if you want fast, simply buy fast out-of-the-box and enjoy it.

Mat! You're a star! That's gotta be one of the best soundtracks on the 'ring - Nice find!  

[MAT ED30]

Not exactly stock that though is it Mat

[MAT ED30]

neither is yours  so played with csl will rip an ed30 a new arse hole 

[MAT ED30]

and u cant compare your ed30 to a stock csl as there is just no point as once u play with a csl it will be that fast and its more about if you can drive the car to its limit or before your bottle runs out
