I have a 1978 BMW 320i ( e21) that will still go about 110 mph, it is still a very solid car. The only thing that I can compare it to is it's like driving a go-cart, very responsive it loves to be over 3000 rpms. It can't touch the svx but I would like to see an svx try to follow me through a twisty bumpy pot hole ridden water board road in it. I have welded a skid plate right under the oil pan for when it bottoms out ( often). yes I am abusing the crap out of a nice classic car, and I must say that I love it.. I have kinda strayed off the subject a little but who does'nt.
