I dunno. I'm honestly kind of out of touch with how Bimmers are since I sold my 540i. I almost wound up with a 135i instead of the Z, but the handling is pretty poor, and everyone I know that autocrosses them has run into all sorts of issues.

Used to have an old azz 318i with 250k+ miles, it was never working quite properly so I didn't have any fun with that. I was thinking about autocrossing my Z this summer. Seems really fun and I hope I can do it without having to get any of the track prep mods (oil cooler, brake pads, etc.).

I'd like to run as well. Maybe we can go embarrass ourselves together.

Sounds like a plan

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)

What do you expect? This is a 370z forum, not a OMGI<3BMWstothedeathfanboi forum. There are not enough FI 370zs that have been on the strip in order for you or I to gauge their potential against a 335, but here is a nice example of what they are capable of.

Seb's first time out on the track with a TT 370z 6 speed manual, and this is a valid example since you claim a bolt on 335i has an edge over any FI 370z. Try 11.961 seconds at 122.13mph. More practice will take him lower in the 11's which given his trap speed is very possible. More boost will net even higher traps. There are also going to be a few A/T FI Zs that will be in the picture this year as well.

SZ Z34 TT hits the drag strip......finally!
