yeah and the idiot who posted that video claims his 335i does 0-60 in 3.8 and 1/4 mile in 12.1 sec. I do not think you can believe any portion of his claims or video

I'm kinda in a similar situation with my 97 camaro SS... I didn't drive it much before, but now that I have a coupe with a stick that is faster, more comfortable, handles better, etc... What's my motivation to drive the SS???

I am selling it, but not trying hard yet..

i don't know what the decription said, I just saw a 335i walk a GTO. Most people are ill informed so obv the info is wrong, but the video doesn't lie.

His car is stick and I am looking into the Helix Tune or the JB3. Mainly the Helix Tune.........

By the way when im in his car he really doesnt know how to drive stick he shifts too late and always chirps every gear.......which in retrospect would slow down his car.....

I have an automatic with the sport package

I doubt the video too, since the guy was recording it himself as he was driving, Not sure someone can Drag race at top speed and hold a camera at the same time, unless your car is a yugo.

Was playing around with a GTO on 95N (MD) last Friday on my way up to the M.O.M. meet --- that sucker was pretty quick. He started pulling on me after I let off the throttle. You'll prolly read on the GTO forum how it smoked a 335.

Same with my Mustang. I had a Cobra that was fast as hell, and I already gave it up for the 335, but I still have an old slow 97 GT that I want to sell, but it's still fun to drive every so often. I want to build up a classic when I move into a house because I love American muscle just as much as German engineering, even if it's for different reasons, but part of me doesn't want to give up the Mustang now, even if it would mean mod money.

I think I've finally convinced myself to sell it though, and I have a several people interested, so it'll probably finally happen, but some of you guys have to understand that just because BMW is "better", doesn't mean that some of us don't like other cars for other reasons.

stock vs stock

335i vs ls2 powered gto - both these cars are mid 13's capable stock... its going to be a close race each time stock vs stock...

the 335i w/ a tune will demolish a stock ls2 gto...

i speak from experience... i have not only owned a gto but i have a friend who currently owns one and we have "played around"..

yeah I have that other thing hanging on with the SS... If I had my way I would be doing a Reggie Jackson/Jerry Seinfeld/Jay Leno, but I don't have a zillion dollars to stock buildings with cool cars..

I thought about turning the camaro into a race car, but I had to mess up what is a pretty stock, and pretty flawless future classic..
