I now need to buy an e30 and wrecked Corvette.

I read that entire thread. I wish I had that much skill.

In reply to DoctorBlade:

Me too.......... That is sweet..

sounds like a long thread--will read later

My 233whp/215tq had serious traction issues, from an OBD-I S52. While it's way cool and I'd want to do it as well.

It's just completely overkill. If you search around on YouTube, there is a vid of the kid wrecking that car going like 30mph rolling on the gas in 2nd gear.

On the same note...

When do you think they're going to realize that this is the same guy of "Boot" fame? (I think at least.. i remember reading this thread a long time ago)

Nevermind, making a new thread.

HA! That isn't overkill - its an indication that there is a shortage of grip that needs to be addressed before supercharging!

Is this the right one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM6lcuAS1Kk

I think so. Note the stock bottle caps and stock sized tires? 195/60/14's aren't "ideal" for 350whp V8's..... I can't speak for what tire is on there.
