Will a v2 335i hang with a stock 997tt to 120? *video*

Not sure where to post this topic at, since this originated here, so i guess ill leave it here.

Now I know all you guys are wondering how well the 335i can keep up with a 997TT.... I myself was one of the people that said a 335i will never hang with a 997tt to 125mph.


So, I had a gtg tonight in mexico with a few friends of mine.

They wanted to see if the runs vs the v2 335i and the 997tt in gustavs videos on the m5 board were true...

There were a few people that didnt think that a 335i could hang with a stock 997tt in the starting triple digits ( I was one of them).

All I can say is from 2nd gear roll. I hold it off till 125 mph because of the 1 CL jump i get... But once that car hits middle of 4th gear, it just comes running in like mad man. Up to 155 it takes me by a good 2CL.

If we go from a 3rd, its even worse i can only hang up to like 100-110 mph. Then it just runs away even faster. Up to 155 he gets stuck around 3-3.5CL's.

I ran an E46 m3 also, it was a vert with headers, DA software, K&N filter, No cats, and 100 shot of nos.

Those were pretty interesting runs... Hes going to be spraying a 150 shot soon i heard.

I think its all the weight form the vert + his system that weighs him down.

I also ran my buddies stage 3 AA s/c LW/gutted bolt on + meth injection m3. I have the videos but ill post those later if you guys get board...

All in all it was fun. I was happy to get even hang with the 997tt till 100-125 mph. That car was amazing...
