Default Damnit... Dad bought a faster car than mine...

after almost a year of having the fastest car in the house hold, dad bought a BMW 335i today... similar power, but his turbos spool hella fast.

So it may be quicker but is it really faster? And are we talking 951 or 924 here?

You're a turbo away from success.

335i: Exhaust, reflash, say goodbye to 90% of the 951's on rennlist.
400whp, 450ft/lbs, and reversible for warranty work.

So basically the 951 with appropriate bolt ons could hold their own against a 335i in a roll on, but not from a stand still?

Dont forget. The Beemer is limited by its injector. up to 20more power max. and power to weight, we're lighter. So we don't need as much power. .... Our mod options are waaaaaay beyond Just a chip and exhaust. But still. It's not a new Beemer....
