Its not really a sleeper if its gonna have all that bodywork. But very nice job on putting a v12 tt in there if they pull it off.

By the way, that guy seems to be selling it on Mobile.de - click here! For ~3200 USD!

It has an Alpina B12 engine, six-speed gearbox from 850CSi, 421 hp and an impressive torque....

Sorry dude, there's no way. The M70 and M73 weigh 341 and 330lbs, respectively. The M10 weighs 180. Scary misinformation.

It is a cool project though.

I was just giving rough estimates, but it seems like I had to make some point that the V-12 wasnt going to be a lead weight in the front. For that was the belief of many people. Sorry for not being 100% truthfull, but do you know how much the V-12 weighs?

Man, the M70 and M73 (and the new N73) are V12 engines. The one from the 750i/iL E32 1986-1994 is M70.

Its nasty looking as everyone has already stated, and I dont really think its much of a sleeper..

I do however think this is a sleeper hehe(albeit redneckish) a 12Second Dodge Caravan with Fake Wood Panneling

the ultimate sleeper is my friends busted-ass 1989 240sx with an SR20, fully built up

woof baby, 356whp out of a car that looks like it belongs in a junkyard

it was a fun little summer project.

My Friend Drew, has a 240sxt. It was a limited production model and has a T3 garret turbo, a nismo racing clutch, hks exhaust, hks turbo timer, hks blow off valve, b&m short shift kit, and a custom fuel rail. Its nice and produces 270hp at the wheels which isnt bad cause he's already smoking lightly moded mustang 5.0's. Theres some other stuff he has but I don't remenber it all. His Bro has a Roush Mustang ( his 240sx will need some serious mods to keep up with that).
