yea, but in the Turbo S you can do it comfortably from your heated seat when its raining (awd), or when its 30 degrees outside, at which point the turbos will be extra happy and probably get you there in 2.5 I can't say from experience because I've never owned a bike but I would think the feeling of that acceleration would be much more noticable being smashed back into your seat vs. trying to hold on to your handle bars.. i could be wrong though.. And if something went wrong, i'd rather be in a car..

You will need a star, banana and giant mushroom to beat GT-R. Might need a green mushroom, just incase you fail the first time.

I never said I beat him, I said I lost! Just not as bad as some people think!

Nice. Also, their pump gas package makes 800HP! No single turbo setup and no meth It's such a comprehensive package with the proper fuel system upgrades.

Why is our platform progressing so slowly? I mean having upgraded turbos without proper fuel delivery is like peanut butter without jelly. I suppose it's more of a supply/demand issue as I would imagine most GT-R owners would tune their cars from the get go. The financial backing is there.
The 335i has a much broader customer base.

This more than anything... there is like a 4-5% statistic of tuned 335i's. GTR's are bought solely by enthusiasts that are willing to mod them at all costs, as are Evo's as are STI's.

That in a conjunction with the Direct Injection setup makes none of the big boys in a hurry to work on this car. It's the same situation with the MazdaSpeed3, you have a piggy by Cobb but that's about it. Although, the fueling issue on this platform is so debatable that I'm even lost, some say fueling is an issue; other's say it isn't at all. Then we still don't know what the deal is with those upgraded in tank fuel pumps that some have claimed to use... If it was me that was creating something in the interest of this community, I would have done a secondary set of port injectors a long time ago. We'll see what happens with Shiv's single turbo setup, I am really counting on that now to take everything a few steps further.

It took the GTR 3 years to get to the 1340 WHP level lol... We are at ~520 after 5 lol.

One of the main reasons is $$$$$$ is why we have not seen the N54 progress beyond that after so many years.

The majority of the N54 community always *itch about how this and that mod is too expensive so cheaper alterantives are sought.

Mods for a GTR cost 3-4 times more than for the average cost on mods for the N54.

When there is a demand ie $$$$$ ie people willing to spend rather than *itch then the REAL after market world will start investing more into actual performance upgrades rather than garage business' doing the providing

If Greddy came out with a complete Turbo "kit" for the N54 that cost $6-$8k how many people here you think is going to jump on it ? Thats the point, and that is why Greddy does not recognize the N54 community.

Anyhow, sounds like a GTR is next on my list to buy. Atleast when I am over on a GTR forum and I say I spend 3k for an intake you wont see them doing this

I will keep the 335is garage and to go to disney world
