370z vs 335i Coupe

LostMarine · 04-07-2011, 03:28 PM

135/335's do NOT come with LSD. but 135/335 was not the sports car argument

135/335's are rather impressive in 1/4 mile and 60-130 runs.

since we have factory turbo's, tuning is easy. what i meant by that is a car that is using his octane and boost proportionatly. basically an N54 that runs octane for 16-17 psi, is going to put a hurtin on A LOT of cars.

and yes cossie, you can buy a corvette and run circles around, but is that the total package?

If you put it up against a forced induction Z, supercharged or TT'ed, a fully tuned 335i with stock turbos would not have an edge.

really? i dont think you know what your talking about. I dont think your aware of what fully modded N54's can do.

Stock turbo N54a are running 119-123mph in the 1/4 mile

im shooting for 126+mph this season, i have upgraded turbo's (stock housing, upgraded internal's ect)

and anyway whats the big deal about 1/4 mile times anyway. Put the same driver in both cars same day and its a crap shoot

Marine you need to find yourself and stop being lost out in BMW land.

yes lets get this place really cooking!!!!

what are you talking about? 1 second in the 1/4 mile is not a lot? have you ever tried drag racing? and ET is a show of traction and gearing- MPH show how much power th cars are doing.

I came here to find more information on the 370z platform and obviously got sucked in here..

your so cool! how about some 60-130 times? uh.. noone around here does that?

guess what the sports car stuff that your side already threw out there, includes domestic cars.. so...... they can turn, and apparantly outcorner you and your car.. but hey, what do I know right.. i just show facts and then you change the subject

I don't think anyone here said that, and anyone that thinks we will hang with them mod for mod in a straight line is a fool.

If I was after 60-130 times I would have kept my last car....

As mentioned before, the current 1/3 series have some serious suspension issues. There's a reason there aren't many performing at a high level on a road course.

I'm interested in seeing the 1 series M get tested by one of the car mags or Top Gear. Do you think suspension issues will be solved with the M?

my 05 is lighter, faster at the track (4 sec at track with turns), comes with better lsd, sits lower, same gas mileage. i would say yes it is a better car from every performance category. i just never got comfortable driving it
