angliagt Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cool, Interesting BMW will sell you a race ready GT4 class car for 190,000 http://blog.caranddriver.com/whats-190000-between-friends-bmw-m4-gt4-now-available-for-order/ 190k is a lot for a car, but one heck of a deal for a full on race ready car. BMW M4 GT4 is now available for order, and unsurprisingly the twin-turbocharged coupe means serious business.The 187-inch long race car wears a carbon-fiber hood from the water-injected M4 GTS, a pair of carbon-fiber doors, and a host of aerodynamic add-ons, including front splitters and a massive rear wing. BMW also equips the stripped-out M4 GT4 with the seat, brakes, and pedal box from the bigger BMW M6 GT3 race car. Those brakes comprise of chunky 15.4-inch front and 14-inch rear rotors, with calipers using six pistons in front and four piston at the rear. Other racing upgrades include a built-in air jack, adjustable anti-roll bars, a set of Öhlins shocks, and an adjustable spring at each corner. While BMW went to town on the M4 GT4’s suspension components, the company played it safe with the powertrain, since GT4 rules require that the basic engine—including its position, location, and orientation—remain original. As such, the M4 GT4’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six can be traced back to the production M4. Fitted with a racing exhaust, the engine produces 431 hp, just six more than the production car. All of that power is sent rearward via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that’s been programmed for racing. Meanwhile, a massive 33-gallon fuel tank stretches the distance between pit stops. Never,EVER press the Red button. 1 Quote Link to comment

VFR800 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Queensland REPRESENT!!!! So how hard is it to get those flares? You know, in case I ever find that Chevette project... ^_^ I'm not sure but IIRC the genuine Torana SLR 5000 and SS versions had them factory standard and then it was popular to get them onto any Torana. Chances are there's still kits made for these but likely AUS based companies. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Chances are there's still kits made for these but likely AUS based companies. No doubt. There would be zero market for them here in the states. :P They only fit three of the most unloved cars of all time, the Chevy Chevette, the Chevy Vega, and the Buick Opel. 1 Quote Link to comment
