The Perfect 1000+hp Playground

Gustav over at M5 Board has got a good thing going. Not only is it a great forum, but he’s managed to secure the perfect playground for all of our favorite high horsepower toys – an airfield. Mmm mmm. He’s been bringing some seriously FAST cars out of the woodwork to show what they’re made of on the tarmac. And it’s an amazing thing to see cars have a home to go all out without restriction run after run after run…especially those who have the top end power they can hardly ever tap into on the road.

Now Gustav has brought some amazing and exotic machinery out to face off against the best of what BMW has to offer. And while it surely is a treat to see BMWs beat up on Lamborghinis and Kleeman-tuned Benzes, I think it’s even more exciting to see modded Roundels go head to head with their own.

The vids below are near and dear to my heart since I am a huge fan of E34s and E30s…but even moreso because they are packing much more heat than even your top shelf modders usually strive for. How much more you ask? Well, the E30 M3 is shoehorned with a V10 out of an E60 M5 (500hp) and the E34 M5…well that has a turbo’d S38 motor putting out 1000hp (although in this vid the boost is turned down to run ~750). The result? You’ll just have to see for yourselves:

V10 E30 M3 vs. stock M6 (just to put things into perspective):
