Wow! that is a lot of power. Ive heard guys who have superchargers have a hard time hooking up. What makes this car different? I for one would think that the 1000hp bimmer would have a difficult time hooking up.

I have an E46 and am considering a 500hp turbo kit.

The car was in low boost mode and i was just in awe. It pulls like a monster, ive never felt anything that before.


The car already has the first ever 6 piston Brembo Brake kit and a great suspension setup.
You might want to check with Gerard on the brake comment. I remember him saying he was in on this back in November!

Nope, Brembo and Lucent Motors worked together to get the first kit. Actually my car was towed to Bimmerfest 06 by Brembo b/c they had yet to make the brake pads for the kit, using my car as size references they test fit different pads and finally made the production kit.

I had these brakes on March 06!

WOW @ the Imola Red Beast! ! !
How are you going to keep that thing from flying off the road!? Did you perform a widebody to squeeze in wider tires?

And thumbs down on the ala-cf-sticker Brembo calipers...
looks tacky and overdone. Just imho.

No sticker...... thats real carbon fiber... and you can bet your *** that he paid for it to.


Overkill........maybe.

Fake in any way...... certainly not.

I know it's not a sticker, hence my use of "ala-...", hinting at that it looks like a sticker/decal.

Just my own aesthetic preference, I'm sure there are many others who would love that extra cheese.

Lets see that's a "thumbs down" from you and a "middle finger from me to you" aka - FU.

That is your "imho" although there's nothing "h" or "humble" about it, but you're entitled to that given I put it out there. On the other hand I think you're rude and very likely an a-hole. The carbon fiber (overlay - not sticker) is not for everyone, but I do have a theme going with Vorsteiner and other carbon fiber parts and this was part of it to go with the wheels and the rest.
