CSL does the 60 in about 4.8 BMW published, 4.6 tested by mags.
Comparing a Lingenfelter GTO to a factory BMW is not exactly fair. I think a fair comparison would be the Lingenfelter to the Hartge M3 with the massive M5 motor, which hits 60 in about 4.4. |
no, no, no.
of course, it isn't a fair comparison! i know, HACK. it actually is a reverse compliment to BMW that its OEM vehicles are that fast.
but i was wondering because the GTO is pretty easy to tune since it's just buckets and pushrods. a lot harder to come by those sorts of power gains on any BMWs. the LPE GTO is basically an australian version of a 6 series and while the 6 series looks less odd more and more, i'd still take the GTO because of the corvette engine. more fun.
