Is the bmw 325 1987 (e30) a reliable car to race?

I first was planning to buy a honda civic with a goal of make it to 250HP, but I really don't want to be like all of my friends and be one of the bunch. I really like the e30 so what do you think?

It all depends on what/where you are racing… If you r racing against newer sports cars on the street, than no it is a horrible idea all around.

If you are tracking against similar year/power cars than it is a decent ride. Lots of people track e30 for fun.

Also look into the e30 motor swap with a e36 motor, very popular "upgrade".

Don't ever race!

  • WHAT STREET RACE CAR SHOULD I GET? I'm a girl and i'm really into cars. I'm getting a car and don't know what i should get. Can someone give me some examples of some good cars i can totally modify under 8k… No lame hondas please or rx8 since they break down too easily. I preffer a manual over a automatic. I was looking mostly at the wrx sti subies. But what are some others that look good. I don't want anything too old or ugly looking. What do you think about an acura integra? Or a rx7?
