with mod no problem. I barely remember the car stock, but I test drove XF Supercharged with a friend, and the car is very nice but could NEVER keep up with a tunned 335i.

The Jag makes 420hp and 413 lb-ft, while weighing aprox 4200 pounds.

That is aprox 10 pounds per HP.

The 335i sedan makes 300hp/300 lb-ft while weighing aprox 3600 pounds.

That is aprox 12 pounds per HP.

It would be a close race - but the Jag is probably faster.

He has a convertible so add around 350lbs to that and no he doesn't beat the Jag. At least in paper racing.

I have beaten the XF badly on our 135. Now our car is 250 lbs lighter but I am too overweight so that is balanced out We are pretty modded but we beat him pretty badly so I would say a well driven stock 335 would be neck and neck if not in the lead!

looking at Road n track...the 0 to 60 times are as follows:

jag: 5.0 sec
bmw: 4.8 sec

0 to 100:

jag: 11.4 sec
bmw: 11.9 sec

1/4 mile:
jag: 13.4@ 107.7 mph
bmw: 13.4@ 105.1 mph

look at any new road and track mag......flip to the back pages....road test summary has all the info...
cheers, shig

Stock with v27.8 you win or its really close. Stock with v29.2 YOU LOOSE. My buddy's v27.8 with g-force regularly has 0-60 times in the high 4's, mine with v29.2 is regularly in the mid 5's both with 6sp man and both xi's. His a coup and mine a sedan.

have you guys tried switching drivers? 0-60 is such a variable figure that its not really that useful (condition of the tires, grip, driver skill, etc). does the g-force measure g-forces? you can actually see what the in gear acceleration is in various gears, which is a lot less dependent on outside variables.

yes..good question. we traded cars and a third friend of ours has an 08 sti. the sti and I are pretty close but he usually wins if I drive his car ( meaning the sti wins) we are all pretty close on all accounts. The only difference is we only have one g-force. Next time we go ill print out and post...
Ill use the strips print outs
