Instead of adding 200 hp they should drop 500 lbs. of weight IMO.

That 3:73:1 rear axle ratio is the same as that of the 325i steptronic

maybe someone in a 325i step should race the car. I am sure its a drivers race being that the axle ratio is the same

Well you might find the ONE area the GT500 >Ownz> the 335i.

500? You're being generous. I'm thinking more like 800-900.

That would be par Z06 weight. While that would be amazing it's still a 4 seat compared to a 2. I would have purchased a GT500 if it had the same engine and weighed 3300 lbs dry.

This car will be only marginally faster than the GT500 for all practical purposes. Until they give it a real suspension it's still going to be a piece of crap.

That would have made any decision between that and a C6 alot more interesting.

IMO this HP era is getting and will get out of hand. Looks good on paper, but if you don't have a way to transfer all that power to the ground, its just a total waste and worthless. But to each their own. Cars are as individually unique as people, otherwise we would all be driving the same car

Honestly, I think I've found my ideal vehicle. a PROcede 335i is just right for me. Perfect balance in performance, comfort, fun factor, handling, features, etc.

Ok, I'm done rambling......
