I'm no expert so don't go beating me up over it - go talk to them.

That's where the press car story comes from and I knew that was coming.

0-100mph in 11.7 secs in a remapped 335i is pathetic. What does that say about Evolve's remap?

Guys have posted figures showing very low 10s. Similar to the E92 M3.

There is guys posting 12s standing quarter mile times with terminals over 110mph.

You don't gain 10mph per second at over 100mph.

Standard cars are getting well into the 13s at 103-4mph standard. That wouldn't be possible if the car was only able to do 0-100mph in Evolve's claimed times.

As I say, everyone will extract certain facts to suit the story and that magazine article/advertisement is the main one to hang on to.

Heading over old ground again.

Aren't Evolve known for being a bit dodgy anyways?
