We're all 335 owners here so I'm not trying to bash the cars, but I still think picking off a C6 with the PROcede 335 is going to be a tall order.

i like a challenge

like i said though i KNOW a c6 is going to have the edge on a 335, but a 335 should stleast be able to hang with the c6, shivs is putting out 350hp+ same as a stock c6

c6 is 400ish pounds lighter, but the 335 has 50 more torque on the low end

they should atleast be close, close enough to surprise the shit out of a vette owner

I agree. The C6 is lighter, has similar power, and has better traction. That will be tough to overcome. However, just being able to be CLOSE to a C6 would probably freak out a C6 driver

I can almost hear them thinking "What the heck is that 4 door, 6 cylinder, family sedan doing hanging with my Vette?!?!?"

That was exactly the look on the guys face as I started pulling past him in my S4. I just wished I had the below in the car at the time with the rear windows rolled down.



Obviously without my twin daughters in the car.

omg i would have loved to see the look on his face in that scenario!

so many people expect 3 series to be slow, because well they have been in the past (comparably)
