seriously!! The damn thing should have only weighed 3300 max from the start; maybe the driver weighs 300 lbs...
The turbo looks like it could swallow a football.

Ah, the old "Big Turbo, Fat Driver" excuse!

body panels (for the most part and on most cars) don't weigh squat.

i always chuckle when i see someone with a cf hood on an s2000... it probably weighs more than the stock aluminum one.

I haven't seen any regular E34s that have caught my attention, maybe more people just put money into the M5?

WTF, the first one looks exactly like the car that a guy I used to hang out with has. He just bought it a little while ago, wonder if he is selling it.

Typically not an Enzo fan, but this one shivers me timbers pretty good. Especially the engine bay, which is a work of art. MM colors, too

My turn, it's been a while. I really think the Germans are going in the right direction with body styling... the Japs are getting too futuristic on us.

The German tuner has supped up the A5 CoupeÔÇÖs appearance with the addition of a full bodykit that sports carbon-fiber elements combined with new 21 inch alloy wheels. On the technical side, Senner TuningÔÇÖs engine kit boosts the 3.0-liter V6 turbodieselÔÇÖs output to 300Hp (from 240Hp) and torque to 610Nm allowing the A5 Coupe to reach a top speed of 280 km/h or 175 mph. Other improvements include the new suspension kit that brings the vehicle 40 millimeters closer to the road.

Don't forget the body kit and tons of interior carbon fiber pieces!! :lol: (I didn't link those pics with the CF pieces).

I must be a huge ricer but I think those wheels look awesome on that car. I'm a sucker for deep chrome lips though!
