Deceptively fast. I like it. It is weird not hearing the blower whine on the 3800. ha

You can hear a little turbo whine on some of my videos.
I've put the link to "Turbo Slug's" Youtube channel in my previous message.
Watch this one to see the M3 being beaten again! (Filmed by a spectator - last few seconds of the video.)

Cool videos! I like that there is real sound rather than a bunch of music....

Rafe, I noticed your track day videos have been distorted, going from the 4:3 they were shot in to a stretched 16:9 aspect ratio. Not to fear though, as it's easily rectified. Just copy and paste yt:stretch=4:3 into the tag area for each video... and they'll be back to normal.

Shameless plug:

This probably the last video using the crappy 'phone cam footage that's been collecting dust on my hard drive.
My family bought me an action cam since, so maybe I can start to make better vids!
Thanks for watching.

As promised, here are a few "better quality" vids:
The latest, the "Icecream run":

And a couple of car meets since the lockdown was lifted:

The next real track event I'm doing is this 2 day drag race. I should be going up against my old car the '77 Bandit Trans Am (LS3 motor now). We'll see how I do...!
Oh, and there will certainly be some BMW M3's in the line up for Turbo Slug to eat !!
Regards,
Rafe

That engine sounds pretty good, for a 3800. (they usually sound kinda "blah") Just out of curiosity, how much RPM is it turning during the race footage?
Ironically, I replaced my Fiero with a BMW 3-series. But I'll probably replace the engine with something more powerful.
PS - Link to build thread? Apparently, my search-fu is weak today.  [This message has been edited by Blacktree (edited 08-27-2020).]
