not really sure about any of them except for the porsche and the e92 beemer, talk to munkyboy. he has been in a turbo one and said it hauled arse. not sure what exactly it had had done to it though, but i know it wasn't stock. he'll be able to tell you more

I reckon save yourself the trouble - buy Hannah some jewellery and get something properly fast.

I went the E46. Theres a blown one that comes into work that sounds nuts!

OK here is a nice range of cars to consider some quicker than others, some with 2 doors some with 4, some turbo some not, what would you go for and why????

I'm pretty sure the RS4 is a manual only proposition so it would depend if that mattered to you or not. Its definetly a tough call but I would be leaning towards the BMW's. But it would be hard to go past the M3, 3.2L straight six and 0-100 in 4.6 seconds stock. If you have a family or will have mates in it on a regular basis the 335i, if you dont have a family or are just having this as a weekend car I would go the M3.

E92 335i

I was blown away when I rode in it for first time.

Easily eclipse my 33R in terms of speed. That was just ecu flash thats it.

Wouldn't mind getting one when they're 'affordable' (in 10 years time!).

All amazing cars I'd be leaning toward the E46 or the 335i. I'm not a huge fan of the audis they just look too plain. If I was going to get a porsche it would have to be a 993 or 997.

Porsche :P .

"Por-shaahh, there is no substitute" haha

How many kids do you hear saying "when i grow up im going to get an RS4, it will go with my dull grey suit" :P

i drove my mate's 335i. it's quick. very quick. somewhere near 300kw with just a chip and large amounts of boost. the stock bits can handle it too! but i wouldnt buy one. hated the interior. open wheeler diff. doesnt feel sporty for a coupe.

also, pretty sure it was over 100k. around 130k+

Yep brand new they are. However second hand depending on year model they can be had for $70k-$100k. My old mans buying one once his car is sold and he finds the right one (black in either manual or paddle shifts). A bit off topic but my best mate is taking a new X6 M series for a spin on Monday, twin turbo V8 2 tonne car that can do 0-100 in under 5 seconds :P

Yeah but the X6M looks like a rhino taking a shit. Its also deeply impractical if anyone over 5ft ever wants to sit in the back.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
