VERY CONFLICTED: 07'-08' 335i coupe vs New 370z

I thought that 12.8 sec pass was with full bolt ons? Maybe I read it wrong, very nice.

Nope, you're correct I misread the post, my mistake. I must have confused it with another post from one of the other forums i post in lol

I'm surprised ppl are concerned with other modded vehicles. It is very rare you will come across another modded vehicle, especially one getting 500whp. Besides most individuals with "fast" sports cars can't drive them. I have come across current generation M5's and Z06's that couldn't keep up with the Z. So those concerns are unwarranted. And for the record, a stock 335i is no match for the Z. Trust me.

It's not that we're concerned about other modded vehicles but rather the vechicles own potential.

That's true but trap speed is pretty constant measure of power level. You can easily mess up your launch but your trap speed is a good indication at how fast your car is overall. Wow a Z06 driver that couldn't keep up with a Z needs to sell it and buy themselves a toyota prius. Their gears are so tall they would rarely have to shift.

Trust you? To what credible source are you? Please provide facts to your statement. As terms of performance they are very comparable regardless of your experiences or opinion facts are facts.

Not necessarily the truth. A Evo launches very well and has a decent trap speed. But what trap speed doesn't show is that the Evo is garbage above 80mph (as comparable to the 370z).

Ak I hope this doesn't violate any rules but a 335i had 3 car lengths on me and I was still able to run him down at over 110mph.
As for the ZO6 I believe the guy was not use to the car and was also afraid of it. He is currently looking to replace it with a Porsche GT2 or GT3.

True. I guess that holds some truth to certain cars (i.e. Turbo AWD 4-Bangers)

Your run against the 335i is your experience. I consistently beat a STi (i/e) from a dig 3-4 times but I know that was all due to drivers error. I mean the times are there people have tested them we all know about them (370z,335i) and in terms of stock performance they are very comparable.

I guess that could happen, but his fear isn't going to go away with either of the cars he's going to replace it with haha.
