The simple fact is most of us here are doing pretty well financially, and probably could have purchased more car than the Z. It's a fun car to own. It's well known to be mediocre on boost (relatively), but it's solid and a good backroad companion. The guys over at NASIOC will probably have more fun talking 60-130 times with you.

i dont care about the financial, again, how many times do i have to say it. you guys are bringing price into it.

there where 2 different topics whn i showed up.

the first being whats the utlimate sports car. =M3

and then you guys started attacking what I drive, a 335, so topics changed.

then you guys again talk in cirlce, about performance, then stock, them modded, now stock again.. my statements still stand

to get to a certain level of performance, its going to cost the same..

OR

you can buy the ultimate sports car factory UNMODDED and pay a bit more for the R&D from the automaker ..

see that there?

Huh, so why did you buy a 335i and throw used mods on it then?

Performance doesn't cost the same. I gave you a build list for a 600whp roadster that with another 3k into suspension will lap an m3 or GTR.

Good question. I refer you to my old s2000 again as an example of something much faster than the bimmer.

because it has a much more open and diverse aftermarket support.

** oh, forgot to ask the question everyone here wants to know.. what did it cost you?
