To be fair, the JB3's are putting down more power than Procede's.
You're also comparing a $10,000+ FI package to a $500 tune - let's be honest, for 99.9% of people, one reason for selecting X car is price. So to say John Doe has the financial ability to drop $10,000+ on a FI package is a bit far fetched.
Another point is reliability. On the FI 370z, you won't be taking that to a dealer for warranty work. For the 335i it's as easy as removing the tune (45 minutes) and you're done. I guess the point I'm getting at is the ease of modding. For a 370z to compete with a modded 335i they have to drop over $10,000, permanently lose their warranty, and always have that fear of something going wrong.

I think the point thats been made, is that for the same price of the 335i, a 370 can make close to 500whp with the TT kit. While a $600 flash can net 400hp for the 335, its still considerably less power, while the overall cost remains on par. And another comment i read was correct, the Z is more in line with the 135i, while the 335 is more G37 territory. IMHO, while ugly as all hell, the 135i is a better platform for power and overall speed than the 335i which is a bit of a fatty compared to the Z. Lets kill this thread off shall we?
40k for a 300hp V6, 40k for a 475-500whp TT'd Z, i think the choice is clear.
