another random from today:

Weight gain/reduction won't do much for top speed other than make it take longer to arrive. I guess at some point, if there's enough extra weight, you may add enough rolling resistance to lower the top speed, but I wouldn't expect a 7mph difference in that car unless you did something to the aero or rolling resistance.

What size engine and power are you talking in that car?

My old miata would probably have hit 115-120 on a good day under good conditions. 1.8L 133hp, fairly crappy aero despite being rounded. I think they are similar in frontal area and Cd as a 3.0 or 3.2L 911. My new miata (turbo) should hit 130 and will be gear limited like my old 911 was at 150ish.

other than shedding about 100lbs from the car by removing the rear seat, interior panels, all of the stuff in the trunk, and running a cold intake and free flow exhaust, nothing special. the 325e had a completely different version of Motronic that nobody makes a chip for. it's a 2.7, 6 cyl. not sure on the HP level. stock it was 121hp. i'm sure it's less than that with the miles on this thing.

stopped for a hike on the way home. can you spot the bmw?

She sold children's clothes, I can imagine she scared quite a few kis....
