The 916 6 was a blast to drive, but just for a bit, you are right. I had a friend with one back in college many moons ago.

I don’t know how familiar you are with my other BMW, the bronze on. It is a 1986 745i. It was the Gray market car with the Turbo.

I have it modified with the team 745i adjustable waste gate, the ecu mod that overrides the 6 lb boost limit and a in cabin boost control. I can get 16 Lbs boost now, and after I get my fuel pressure regulator back, 20 lbs.

Scream, I think so...

I was looking at a 745iL not long ago. It was in decent shape. Big car, but great for those long roads across Nevada or Montana at a very high speed... the guy wanted an outrageous price, so I passed... he still has it... he probably hopes he will never sell it...

My E30 M3 is in the process of restoration... lots of little things like door latches, paint, locks, chipped windshield... engine is solid and original, greasy, but all the seals, belts and hoses are good for now,... exhaust needs replacement... wiring needs to be eventually replaced and I have already run through a set of new tires and warped a rotor...

The Porsche runs fine, it just needs to be torn completely apart, and every inch of it cleaned before I get another paint job. The interior is pretty beat up, needs to be gutted and replaced.

The stuff is somewhat expensive to do (if you never had to pay Jaguar prices), but the cars are more than worth saving, they will last longer than the newer ones when they are finished, but most importantly, they are competitive!

I had an XJS some time ago. What a rocketship that thing was. Trouble is, a brake job will cost you 2500 at a shop, the parts ain't cheap and they aren't easy to work on.
