umm I never said I don't like BMW. I just don't like X6 which IMHO is seriously ugly. (I am assuming you get the idea from that thread). I am waitlisted for E90 M3 and we have 4.8 E70 X5, which I think is pretty amazing SUV in terms of driving dynamic (with way too many bugs and problems).

I think you are confused. Give me your 335i and I will prove you how much I like BMW.

Sorry, but I wouldn't throw Evos into this discussion...Stock they can run mid 12's. Slightly modified, I've ran 11.9's ETs with 330whp (Mustang Dyno) at the track. I have not ran my evo at its present 400WHP yet, but I would figure low 11's, maybe a crack at 10's. These 335is Proceded are barely hitting mid 12's. =/

Mid 12's for a stock Evo? Try low 13's

Wow I can't wait to see a single turbo 335i, I guess time will tell if the bottom end can hold the boost. A GT42XX 335i with supporting mods will be very potent.

It will be a fun 2008. Once this baby is broken in at 1500 miles, it is time to make some youtube movies with some local Lexus cars. I am such a horrible driver, so a good driver should be able to beat me Remember, it is all about the driver lol..

that way its top end torque wont fall off as it does now, higher torque will shift from the low end (what it is now) to mid and high revs. Of course the tradeoff is it will have some lag towards the bottom end

Yep, sure am. Here is a typical Evo 1/4 mile run http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpconta.../pageNumber=10 13.3 at 103. Here is another http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2429.shtml Again, 13.3 at 103. This is typical for a stock Evo. You need to learn a little bit more about the car and stop exaggerating. And no, I don't care what your modded Evo ran. Stock it's a low 13 second car.
