good morning,

I stated in an other thread about the BDR handling that I own a forerunner of the BMW suspension car. Mine was buillt in 1996.
Meanwhile I learned that it was not built by KCC Johannesburg (is that the former BDR?) but by a professional race car builder from South-Africa. Sorry for the mix-up.

It features McPherson strut in the front similar to the BMW, but from a FORD Sierra XR8 with AP brakes.
The rear is homemade, similar in appearance to a 289, but with coil overs.

I had it on the Killarney race track in Cape Town, and was able to easily run Porsche GT3 or Turbo times (1.33,3) with a 302 (290hp, flat torque) using only 3rd and 4th gear on street tires. It's not a fast track, topping about 125 mph. Car weight is 2250 lbs.
I am a beginner in racing. An experienced driver should even be faster.

Did any of you run a comparison to a GT3 or Turbo?

I hope this helps the discussion, because I expect the BMW suspension cars to handle quite similar.
