I feel bad for you when two years comes by and cars then make our cars look like iron weights with people flintstoning their way around... Seriously - its a car - you drive it and you appreciate it... if you got your bimmer to simply talk **** to others and "defend you cars honor" then you wasted 40k and should be driving a mini van...

I have driven and "played" with many a N54 - they have their moments and so does a Z or a miata or any other car tailored for an enthusiast... if you cant appreciate a sports car when you see one - then you are less an enthusiast more a car-bigot... I am sure if you actually owned a 370 - you would be in here defending your investment to the teeth... (just like a lot of people do in here)...

Dont even start with me on the whole mod for mod nonesense - seriously? "mod for mod my d!ck is bigger than yours" - thats all i hear in these forums... People need to grow the **** up and learn to not only appreciate the things that they own...

a 40k waste? im sorry if you thinnk a car is an investment, and it was 49,900BTW + all the extra's ive done to it :).

its a toy, its a hobby, its something to have fun with. enjoy your car, but you were enticed enough to join this discussion because you were curious about the outcome. enjoy yours, ill enjoy mine.

some enjoy racing, some dont. let me ask you this, why were you in here to begin with?

:iagree:

The point was that you can't compare a modded car to a 100% stock car, it's an unfair comparison. The only fair ways to compare are either as you said before "factory fresh" comparing them stock or dollar for dollar including mods.

I don't even need to throw on anything else to get to 500whp....

Anyways, this discussion is stupid and pointless. Everybody knows factory turbo cars offer a lot more bang for your buck when it comes to small mods. Maybe you could go troll the guys on NASIOC, see how that works out for you.

I came very close to purchasing a 135i instead of my Z, because I did enjoy the car on the road. When I had an opportunity to drive it hard it was much less enjoyable though. They're great cars, and I don't think anyone here that has driven one would be quick to admit they're a fun car driven up to around 7/10 or so.

wow this thread! Lost marine just wants everyone to acknowledge his car as god....

Lets do TRUE mod for mod

NA vs NA....all motor vs all motor....at that point MOD for MOD

that means take those huge snail out of your car....the VHR is SUPERIOR, untouched....with out those huge power adders you driving nothing more than a civic or scion powered car. And even at those power levels an SI would hand you your lost a$$

lmao...this is so stupid...nobody here wants your 335/135, we are all more than capable of owning one but decided to go the Z route for its obvious track superiorty.....until your pulling 11.2 like the HR guy (who lied about his boost levels) stop living vicariously through other accomplishments
