JCL,
I said nothing about their chassis being the same. My reference was to the 4200+ lbs that the M3 engine is moving. Empty weight is ~4180lbs, once you add gear, passengers, etc you above 4200lbs. Power to weight ratio was the only think I was looking at.
As far as the Peugeot 206 and a Seat Ibiza. I know nothing about them. They might not have anything in common their respective road going versions either. Maybe a better power-to-weight ratio. Sure the hell aren't stock. I don't know and frankly don't care.
The "X5 "shell" powered by the M3 motor in a highly modified chassis" finished well I thought. 3rd in a two stage race out of 26 teams isn't anything to cry about. Sorry to disappoint you.
I though the videos were cool. My opinion. Thanks for sharing.
