What kind of restoration did you do? It looks awfully clean. Sounds like you got a deal. For 350 he must have really needed to let it go or it had some pretty bad rust damage.

I drive a Ford Scorpion (photo attached, taken with my digical camera).

From Ford's website...

QUOTE

More effective in a supporting combat role than in outright attack, the Scorpion is light and fast, offering little in the way of armor but effective against infantry. Created initially as a recon implement, the Scorpion has a rear-attached plasma ribbon emitter which fires a string of plasma cores. Bound together by cohesive magnetic force, these cores will wrap around enemies or vehicles and detonate. Additionally, the Scorpion is retro-fitted with twin sling arms, both embedded with three industrial grade steel shears zero-g forged for edges only an atom's width in thickness. The sling arms snap out on command, able to effortlessly cleave through any body armor with ease, leaving perfectly severed heads and torsos in its wake. Being so small and lightly armored, the Scorpion is vulnerable to most other vehicles, and heavier infantry fire.

Only got one seat though

Still, people just jump on top...

800BHP? 0-60 in 3 seconds? Before you start pretending that you are going to be a future owner of a Merc McLaren SLR, lets try and get a few things straight. Your BHP figure is way off, by like over 150BHP.. try around 626BHP for that supercharged V8 my friend. Secondly, 0-60 isn't 3 seconds.. its nearer 4 seconds. Still fapping quick, but you are way off...

And good luck getting one. Ever heard of a waiting list and 'exclusive'? And who the hell would order a $500,000 car from eBay? If you were going to be buying one you'd be flown out to the factory in the UK to order your car in person.

Stop lying - it just makes you look stupid.

Here is my baby. My brother blew the engine so right now she isn't very happy. When she was running she was hitting about 350 HP. I switched out the cam, injectors, chip, exhaust, added a intake and also added headers.

I was looking at converting her to the euro spec by adding the intake with 6 throttle bodies off of a euro M3 but I didn't get that far. : sigh :

Just curious where you got your specs from. In your other thread you said it was a 3.5L. There is also no way that engine is pushing 280HP MAYBE 200, but not 280. Also 155MPH, I don't think so.

Nice car Frank. BMW M5's are very nice and resonable Cars, my Neighbour owned one and still does and when he can he and myself go into a Garage and buy as many parts as we can, and do it up to the maximum, its an amazing car and with the right modifications and engine tweaks it looks and works lovely, fiddling with the Gear change ratio's makes the car go a treat, until we blew the gear box, topping it in 3rd Gear.

Its a nice car, and I think of the Motorway the most we have topped it to was 120mph, which is good for an English motorway due to all the Police around.

Nice Car Chicane-UK, I had a red G60 Corrado till the engine went in it. I took the super charger off of it and put it on my 90 Jetta that was a fun car to drive, It was a lot lighter than the corrado.

Now I drive a Saab 900 Turbo from 86 it is my new project. No nicknames as of yet. But I am sure something will spring forth.

Right now I have new rims to replace the Steel wheels, I will probably end up changing the engine out to a 2.3 liter Turbo Charged engine. Alpine Stereo and Blaupunkt Speakers. Not sure what else will happen just take it a day at time.

I hope they were stock "5 point slows" because there's no way with a half TBE, BOV, street clutch, and K&N you're going to win with that setup. DSM's, or turbo cars altogether, love a straight 3" back from the turbo. Atleast throw a 16G in that X... or up it to a 18G/20G

1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 6.4 14.9
1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 6.4 14.9

actually, according to motortrend, it would be dead even, stock for stock (even though i could only dig up the test for the 1995, it was identicle to the 1997 except for the body kit on the car and the width of the head lights.)

and incase you didnt notice, i do have a turbo back, but there is only a 2.5inch downpipe from the turbo because with the t25 anything bigger would cause a lot of boost creep.

and im putting in an FP green... bigger than a 16g, or an 18g, and spools faster than a 20g even though the compressor wheel is the same size.

yup, definitely enjoying it! the steptronic really isnt all bad. it keeps its comfortable on some days, and when you want to push the car it does work great.
we've got 3 other cars in the family that are all manual, so its a good mix (gti vr6, cooper S, 325xi)
