WTF @ Straight line M3 vs 135, I would be PISSED if I bought an M3 and saw those results.

[Alan®]

the M3 should have one the 1/4 the driver short shifted first.

I'm not surprised it was close but gotta remember the Power to Weight Ratio in the 1 series is pretty good. If next year you can get a used one for a round 25 I'd consider it. But I can only Imagine what aftermarket stuff for it costs.

but even if the M3 won by a car on half a car I would be very upset knowing what I spent on the M.

Of course overall the M is a better car when you consider all factors but it's the "piece of mind" factor that will be lacking.

I talked to a guy at the BMW dealer a few months ago and he said the top of the line 1 series was supposed to be either a single or twin turbo model cant remember. But either way it was supposed to have some sort of forced induction. Maybe that helped in why it was so quick.

Understandable. Personally I still don't understand why the went with the V8 platform over just tweaking the 335i and getting another 100whp out of that motor.

It has the same 300hp twin turbo straight 6 as the 335i

im very impressed with the nismo Z's performance. it beat the 135i-which beat the M3-so that mean nismo 350z pwns M3 lol. well thats my reasoning and im sticking to it! and in the slalom the Z seem really well balanced and planted, the 135i was all over the place. it had some crazy body roll. nissan pwns BMW lol!!!!!!!!!!

Umm you must be blind but the Z lost to the 1 series in all tests. Personally I thought the S2000 looked the most controlled through the slalom

[Nissan Sean]

yeah the s2k was the best in the slalom. but the Z beat the 135 in the drag.look at times. plus in japanese, i dont speak japanese. the z did 13.76 vs. 13.77 the 135i did. i double checked and i was right. but it did look like the 135 messed up shifting. the nismo Z is set up for track not drag anyway.

[1SLWPOS]

All these cars seem slow =( and I have raced a new V8 M3 on I75 was quick but falls far from being fast.

[TRDwasiq]

shut the fock up^^ lol

[Bruce Leroy]

the 135 is UGLY....... Id be pissed if i drove that m3

Dude you are dumb and blind. The 135i had the fastest time in the 1/4 the Z came in third. And I looked again the Z lost to the 135 again. Sorry the car is not that great.The video doesn't lie.

[slopoke]

If any one is lookin for a nismo 350z we have a white one with 10k on it at Team Nissan of Marietta. Not tryin to sell but i know how hard these cars are to find and being an enthusiast forum thought i would share. If you are interested pm me, i would like to keep it off this thread.

135i owns, can make it even faster considering the turbos.
