370z vs 335i Coupe

so noone should modify their cars? sure hope you dont have an aftermarket airfilter, or aftermarket anything in your car, OEm tires, brake pads, oem oil.. ect..

Then let's go dollar for dollar.

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.

your really asking me this!? take a look around you brother. flat brims and skinny jeans in this crowd, oh, and the guy wearing his sister 5.0 muscle shirt. yup, you gents are all about performance. i kinda expected this since the majority arent even finished college yet, if they are even attending

because that guy wanted to bring cost of car into , so for accuracy, i informed him. i dont car what the car costs, you guys are the ones that bring $$ into it. I care about the performance of the car, and exactly as i thought, it, it doesnt matter what car you choose, to get to a certain performance level, the end cost is about the same

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.
