@SheriffLonestar Sweet, thanks! I'll take a look!

While a top speed has not been reported, the original Procar's 193 mph (310 km/h) was achievable in race trim, but this street version is likely slightly lower due to gearing and aerodynamic adjustments.

This #BMW M1 Procar was overhauled by the Santa Cruz-based tuner, Canepa. The original 3.5 liter M88 6-cylinder engine was bored and stroked to 3.8 liter and the original mechanical Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection was replaced with a modern Motec system. Horsepower is reported as 414 hp at the crankshaft, with dyno figures showing around 360 hp at the wheels. More pics and info below..

@SheriffLonestar I agree!

The first day of Spring has sprung. Time to pack up the winter sweaters..

Brazil’s ‘Esquife Voador’ AKA “The Flying Coffin”

"In the vibrant tapestry of Brazilian motorsport history, few tales are as colorful or as emblematic of local ingenuity as that of the “Esquife Voador,” or “The Flying Coffin.” This #BMW 2002, often referred to as a ‘Schnitzer 2002tii’ due to its modifications, became a legend on the tracks of Brazil during the early 1970s."

@SheriffLonestar You might not want a soft top version after seeing how it looks with the top up..

E24 Cabriolet: Yes or No?

@SheriffLonestar As Clint Eastwood said in one of his Dirty Harry movies.. "A man's gotta know his limitations." ..Sounds like you know your limitations, man!

@SheriffLonestar Haha! Don't blame me ..although, I caught myself eyeballing i8s just a few weeks ago. They're pretty amazing cars and they're actually becoming a little more affordable which means that you might not have to sell an entire kidney.
