    Just looked over the last few posts. I never said a 335i is a piece of junk/garbage/etc.

    What I should have said is "for the money, there are other cars that can outperform the 335i at a lower price."

    Sorry.

    No apologies necessary, Serendipity. Just friendly discussion here. :)

    just add an WGA or BC and you could play a lil bit.

    you can do mods to keep your car looking stock.

    PORT WORK!!! port your Turbo housing, exhaust manifold, TB and ITM. all 4 of them would lean you out and add a nice power curve.

    were are you located at?

    Lots of comments about the bimmer jockey being an ****. What about the guy in the Mazda? If I'm driving along and all the sudden some jerk starts "obviously" trying to chase me...I'm going to be pissed as well. The guy with the camera is just as much of an **** as the other guy IMO.

    the mazda guy left plenty of room infront of him IMO and was not tailgating. the BMW owner was the one who stopped on a road to get out and smart off.

    Those might be good options...if I had a speed3. But mine's just the n/a 2.3. :( Not much fun to be had with that. There was a 'speed3 at a lot down the street that I test drove - wow what a difference! I'd be tickled pink and have a huge grin on my face if I had that thing. It would be a while before I *really* wanted it to go faster. Oh well. I'm just waiting to get that first car that really has some potential to have some fun with.

    I'm from the triad area, between Winston Salem and Greensboro. But nowadays I'm in Arkansas most of my time, taking classes.

    Well if the 335 was as light as the Japanese cars it wouldn't feel slow and gutless. I don't rate speed alone as a factor. I have sold Bimmers in the past, and I drive a SPEC V. Cheap fun car with balls and makes you drive by the seat of your pants. But you put me in the 335, which I have driven, and I will smoke a MazdaSPEED all day long.

    If it came down to a Bimmer and A SPEED and money was not the consideration, BMW all day long.

    And of course if money was not the option, it would be an M3!

    Have to disagree with you there shackdaddy.

    The BMW pulled out in front of him enough to where it appeared he had to slow down a little. I wouldn't even call him tailgating him, much less driving like an ****.

    Then stopped in the road on a blind corner with no shoulders. Excellent move. Someone did that to me that would be looking down the barrel of a 9mm.

    Lunatic freakin entitlement-seeking POS BMW driver is all I saw in this video. Common amongst BMW drivers than most other makes it seems.

    Had a douchebag BMW driver today try to get in my lane without even putting on a blinker and then looked at me like I did something wrong. Idiots.

    Would be fun, most definitely, but I'd be more interested in other options. Besides, I'm going to be keeping my current car for the next few years until I get out of school.

    Agreed 100%. I thought the Mazda driver was well within bounds. Though, I do know a lot of respectable BMW owners.

    Unfortunately, I'd have to agree to the same. Though probably not x3. But on just about any road.

    And since this got me to thinking about 'my next car'....

    th_DickHarrell.jpg

    GMMG Dick Harrell Camaro. Gorgeous paint job (in my favorite color no less), unique wide body kit, 427 putting out ~630hp, roll cage, beautiful Fiske wheels, and all the other beefed up goods to match. I think there were only about 69 of them made. If I'm not mistaken, that's Matt Murphy of GMMG in that video, and his did the 1/4 in 10.94@125 with a 1.45 60'.

    Yeah, I want one of those. Bad. Though really I'd take any muscle car with that sound!

    EDIT - Obviously I don't know how to put the actual video in the post. :mad: Sorry. You'll hafta click the link.

    How about the new Camaro rumored to have the 638hp Corvette ZR-1 engine?

    Basically a Cadillac CTS-V in Camaro form?

    It definitely won't have the ZR-1's LS9. The most logical speculation at this point is the CTS-V's LSA, which in Cadillac guise puts out 556hp. The hopeful are saying it will be tuned for about 575 or so in the Z-28.

    I'm sorry, but I'm just not that interested in it. And I feel like I should be since I love Chevy and Camaro's. But the new Camaro is just too much of a pig. Weighs too much and doesn't handle nearly as well as the Mustang. Which is lighter, tighter, and just as fast. I feel like a traitor saying this, but I'd rather have a new Mustang than a new Camaro. And with the Z-28, I guess that would mean a GT500 instead.
