And since we're talking straight line

$8000GTM Twin Turbo Stage 2

$34000

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.

BTW, lostmarine, just because you got banned on bimmerforums doesn't mean you need to pick a new forum to troll.

Not really. Maybe one or two people do. I don't really care. I bought the Z for fun, not for max 60-130 times.

If you don't know what an AP1 is, you don't belong discussing cars with anyone.

Not really. As an example, many people here can accept the fact that the new 5.0 Mustang can outperform the Z without a problem. Several people here have already made or are planning to make the switch. From a bang for buck perspective, the 5.0 or Boss Mustang is probably better than the Z and the BMW. Just my :twocents:

Yep, we also know cars like the WS6 are vastly superior to our own. And we've come to terms with the superiority of the doors from a Miata.

Not to mention most of us have to deal with the magical, and vastly superior Eagle models as well.
