    Default OT V12 Twin Turbo Dinan 8!!

    Did you guys see this insane car on ebay!!! After reading it I was astonished to say the least. If I had money to buy a new M5 or M6 I would rather buy this car probably smoke both of those!!

    I wouldn't say smoke - especially since the V10 gets power without any forced induction and is most likely 100 times more reliable, but that's rediculously cool!

    I think they can get more than 515HP

    I can only imagine how many problems that'll have. It's a shame they matched it with an auto box.

    Theres one of these in the a recent issue of BMWCar magazine . Its pushing out 600hp on pump fuel ,apparently Dinan only made 25 of these . 10 were stage 1`s , 10 were stage 2`s and 5 were stage 3`s which were pushing out the 600hp . Out of the 5 only 4 are left due to 1 being written off in Hong Kong.
    As for the Autos , they are a ZF 4hp24 modified with a 2800 stall converter heavy duty clutches and plates , internal shift kit and external oil cooler with Dinan chips on auto and motor . Also of note is the diff which is LSD with 3.64 ratio .
    From what i could gather in the article , they are very reliable , as the owner of the car in the article was using his as a daily driver , with only regular maintanence being required and no major breakdowns or failures.
    I`d definatly choose one of these beasts over a current M5 or M6.

    45 grand? I'll bet even the bid for thirty is a shill.
    Let's see what can I buy for 45 Gs? Oh, I know, a seventeen year old BMW known to be problematic.
    45 grand, gimme a break. I want whatever this clown is drinking.

    why are they claiming only 170 mph? gearing? it has more than enough hp to eclipse that speed.

    Probably restriced at that speed, if my 3.5 m30 7 series could do 155 then that thing sure as hell should be able to beat that, although the gearing is the same on my car and it, I did have about another 1200 rpm to go tho.
