Camaro ZL1 or SS vs 1991 BMW 850i k55 racing dynamics edition

Okay so heres a quick rundown. I own the one and only produced 1991 bmw 8 series k55 racing dynamic sports coupe, no it is not a reproduction, or a replica i own the original one. i have about 27,000 miles on the car, it is 1 out of 41 produced , and 1 of 1 produced in the united states. My car is the one shown in the magizines of Car and Driver and EuroDriver etc, and was actually handed over to Racing Dynamics for a few months for testing and competition for the rights to what we now know as the M package, if racing Dynamics won, it would have been k series instead of m. Well the car has about 475 horsepower and maxed out at around 209 mph and came in second place only because the mechanics forgot to take off the second governor giving the corvette rights to speed. i will post some pictures, i am uploading them to photobucket right now. The car is in good condition, but needs a new paint job and headliner because i had it in storage for about 10 years because when my parents got divorced my mom blew the engine so i had to send the engine block back to RD for rebuild. It is signed and dated by the owner of Racing Dynamics Frederico.

It is a 6 speed manual, producing 475 BHP comapred to the european model producing 408 bhp, so in theory i am the sole owner of the fastest bmw k55 ever made.

I do myself have a 2011 camaro 2lt/rs , with some work done to it.. but if it came down to it, and i had a decision on which car to keep and get rid of... i would sell my camaro and buy a honda to get around just to keep this bmw... it really is something special, i dont even think i would talk a ZL1 OR suped up SS... You can check my sources they are reliable, i also posted on another website but thought u guys would appreticate it more than they did. car was dirty in these pics, i have many more pictures of this car in magizines and posters and articles and photoshoots on another fourm, if u wanna find the rest type in My one of a kind bmw k55 8 series in google and hit the VWvortex link up. I know the car is dirty and windshield. just needs very minor work i am the original owner and car only has 28,000 miles roughly... needs a new interior headliner and a paintjob and car is in 100% showroom quality.

Maybe ZL1 vs. his BMW? Idk if he's talking performance, or if he's toying with the idea of selling his BMW for a ZL1. Anyways, I would keep the BMW, considering it will certainly become and probably already is worth a lot of dough.

120,000 was sticker i believe , i think my dad for it for like 91, and we also got the upgrades pretty much for nothing because we let RD sponsor the car and take it to the track and race it.

As a former 840Ci owner...that would be a great car to own. They are FANTASTIC drivers. I would own it as long as I had somebody elses wallet and bank account to own it with.

If you want to sell it I would look to a bimmer forum to post it on.
