I thought it was mandatory for all cars to have limiters at 155? the gentlemen's agreement law in the US here

Guess Not

so you can probably help. How many CL's do you think the 997 stock has on a V2 from say 60-130? after looking at the trap speeds of a 997 (about 118mph vs 114 or so for my V2) Im having doubts that the 997 was stock. its a beast never the less, Its my personal bench mark!

We did a few runs about a month ago with E90ICE's V2 - when he didnt get a limp, I had about 5-6 CL's on him from 40-120....and traps on the 997TT are routinely in the low 120's....

Yep, I would say about 5 cars, form 40-120mph.

I remember Walked U lost by about 1 car to a 997 Turbo....but his car makes around 380-400whp.

Hey, Seattle335i, we should get it on video this weekend...the weather it's supposed to be very nice.

Getting my oil change tomorrow.

Well my 330i is SLOW now. When I first got it, I thought it had some pep, now I think its slow even though its still faster than most of the things I have ran and beat.
example.
05 acura tl
06 g35
02 is300
04 350z

and I mean none of these were barely drivers races, except for G35 .

Maybe its just the low down torque I love. (I test drove one when was looking for cars)

Im obsessed I need one.

LOL, trust me bro, I wanted to 335i cause in my mind i was thinking, "holy shit this car is a four door sedan that can out run a STi or an evo on the high end, and it doesnt look like a boy racer, also just as fast if not faster then the e46 M3! yeah, If I get that car, Ill be happy" Then I happened to come across this little thing called the PROcede and Im like hmmm...80hp for just over a grand, Oh what the hell. Now that I have it Im like okay now I "just" want a exhaust, CAI, DP's, 19" m6 wheels, KW2's, M3 sedan body kit...As of now my list is still growing...so yeah, trust me, it doesnt stop there!

I would be content, a teenager with that power is not smart. I would wait until I had a few years before getting power. Thats why stock it good enough for me since when I was 15, I test drove a 335i and it was plenty fast. Had a coupe on order with pretty much all options except Active Steering, Adaptive Cruise control, and shade.
Then it was talked over, and we put a 328i coupe on order with same options.
Then I saw 06 E90 330i, which is one I have now, in the parking lot and we test drove it. As I have heard sorta hard combo to come by for well a used car, TiAg, Premium, Sport, 6MT, Black leather, Burl wood, Comfort Access, PDC.

I love my car and the power, but after feeling the 335i my car doesnt compare and I mean I just like knowing that the power is there, not even to use, but you know what I mean. Like I'm used to driving my dad S55 AMG around, the low down torque on it is crazy, thats what 335i felt like. I can say I would not do any engine modifications at all, too much power for inexperience is not good.
Now since im so used to my car, it feels O.K. but not quick at all.

I love it though and am keeping it until well it goes KERPLUNK or warranty goes out. BMW for life though.
