So…I found this on craigslist today. [http://rochester.craigslist.org/car/403093692.html](http://rochester.craigslist.org/car/403093692.html) Read the description to fully appreciate the ad… So I figured I’d email him and see what sort of a hole he’d dig. > Hey, I was reading your ad and was interested in the car. How fast > is it? Have you taken it to a track before? What has been done to > the engine to increase performance? The 325e did not make much > horsepower stock, so I’d imagine you’ve done a lot to it to make it > fast. > Also, can you tell me more about the race suspension?

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. > The race suspension should all be on the listing.

I’m trying to decide if I should send something back or not. Any ideas? I’m sure the E30 guys can appreciate how silly it is to think a stock 325e with a chip is fast. :poke: ---

[/quote] Well, if a selling point is that the car is one of the fastest in the town, I’d assume you might have some idea of how fast it is. I’d expect 11’s at least. :gotme: ---
