E30 M3 w/ M5 V10 engine

Don't know if someone has posted here about this car yet, but here are a few pictures from this morning. I heard "800hp" being thrown around...

Nice! But 800hp sounds a bit optimistic...

Agreed. I did not see the owner after he parked to get a chance to ask any questions, but I just heard buzz going around. Someone said it ran 9s or 10s at the strip. Who knows? If he shows up again I'm interested in knowing about the car and it's performance. He got there as I was on my way out...

Very cool.....i love these motor swaps that BMW guys do with the v10 motor. 800hp is unreal though --- is that some type of stroker kit that he would use to get that power? Even still - does that add 300hp?!

I can't find the most recent stuff on it right now, but it's the "Franken M3.". Here's a link for now: http://blog.cardomain.com/2010/03/06...en-m3-is-done/

Yeah, had a feeling that may be the same car...come to find the shop is in VA

It does have the Dinan 5.7 stroker kit so should comfortably over 600hp.
