The highway tranny had 4. my other 2 had standard 5 speed trannys good for up to 130 mph which for 82 and 83 would smoke my 92 honda with 115mph top speed. bmw has always been ahead of their time.

Your car would be in B Street Prepared or Street Mod, however, without having any other mods, you would wind up getting your butt kicked. If you do not plan any other mods, I would recommed taking the intake and strut brace off for the events so you can run in the stock class. You would be much better off in the stock class and can always put the stuff back on after the event.

The other E21 that I have is the 3 speed auto, which really sucks, but it was originally a california car and has no rust at all, which is why I bought it. One of the things that I really like about the E21 is its reliability. The car in my SIG will do 170 mph by calculating the gearing, but I doubt it will go past 150 due to having the aerodynamics of a brick.
