. Nonetheless bmw does have a certain level of luxury that the Z lacks. I hope you won't turn your back on us Z guys now that you got the 135.

my 335 ran a 13.1 stock and after spending $1000 on jb4, intake, downpipes.. I ran a 12.2.... then put on some drag radials and I ran a 11.9

something some people wont never understand is the way the 335 drives, steering..handling.. comfort.. luxury, transmission..ect.. Im working on a deal to trade mine for a 2011 335is with DCT

if im looking for a 4door i would seriously consider the 335i sedan and G37 sedan in 6MT.

4 Door is what I am looking for....

Besides, I would not get rid of my Z for a Stang...

I understand the 335i; it is just not my cup of team. I want NA not FI; I am just not a Euro fan to the point where I would buy one.

G37 sedan looks too boring.

Used GTR. Their prices depreciate quite a bit relative to new ones.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

video? a coworker of mine is running the same setup and claims his best was a 12.9, granted I dont know how good of a driver he is, but DR's will not drop a second off your time. I also dont see you picking up 1.2 seconds w/o upping the boost pressure ala tune.

Jaxx must have been running race gas, and probably a different map.

I thought your co worker had just an exhaust and vishnu tune....

Actually SRT-4's are tq. monsters, my most aggresive tune on stock turbo I was at 400ft lbs tq. 330hp. These cars are cheap though and the transmission sucks I would never recommend it to anyone out of high school lol.

theres an M3, 1 135i and 2 335's, they're apparently popular in Germany. Go figure. Also, no one is running a vishnu tune/exhaust, that was just something that Winn pointed out.

ah i just re read what you wrote. the guy pointed out that an exhaust/tune barely nets you 400whp. Well actually it'd probably net you at most 330-340 whp, thats being generous. The exhausts don't do **** on this car.

I like the response and sound of NA. FI is cool, but only if I intend to mod for tons of power. I am past that phase of my life I think..... Small mods and nice sounding and response motor is what I seek!
