      When it comes to drag racing the classic iron block inline-6 BMW motors hold all the overall records. They are a pretty good value too as right here what you have is a turbocharged S52 bottom end with upgraded rods and a junkyard M50 head with Schrick cams.

      A Precision 6766 turbocharger was then added into the mix.

      The car is on bias-ply tires and tuned on E85:

      Now it certainly helps the car is extremely light. That is why you choose this chassis, power to weight ratio.

      If the owner wants to go further he certainly easily can.
