335 Owners: How often do you WOT?

Doctor///M · 08-03-2013, 03:26 PM

The few times I go WOT from 20-30mph , I sometimes underestimate the effect of low end torque

Not so much at higher speeds...

How about you?

straightcashhomie · 08-03-2013, 03:32 PM

All the time

StevenY. · 08-03-2013, 03:36 PM

Most of the time, but only at low speeds. Can't resist that torque.

chumley · 08-03-2013, 03:38 PM

As chicken-shxt as it sounds, the car is so strong that I really don't feel comfortable at WOT for more than a few seconds on public roads.

Usually it's pull out, get out of first gear asap, go WOT, shift to 3rd, lift and nervously look around for policia.

6mtIS · 08-03-2013, 03:39 PM

At least 1-2 times a day

Envuks · 08-03-2013, 03:41 PM

Many times every day. If I wasn't going to use the power I would have bought a 328 :-)

That sums it up for me too except I start out in second. Most of the roads I drive on daily only have 35-45mph speed limit so it only takes a couple seconds of WOT an im speeding. Sure is fun though

Dark_Knight_335 · 08-03-2013, 04:03 PM

Much much more since I gotten my Dinan stage III and all of my other toys.

AndyR83 · 08-03-2013, 04:11 PM

Whenever I'm first in line at a red light

Fitz335 · 08-03-2013, 04:21 PM

Honestly I rarely need to, every now and then I open her up if I have some empty road, but that isn't very often in SoCal.

Harry335i · 08-03-2013, 04:36 PM

Every time I get a chance.

See5 · 08-03-2013, 04:42 PM

Not very often. Not a drive it like you stole type car compared to a lot of other cars Ive driven and owned. Still can move and turn pretty well when needed though.

you know, I almost agree with you on this one.

From most of the responses so far though, it shows that the high-end power from the car is hardly used, but it sure does feel good that we have a mid-size hammer under the hood, especially for highway speeds.

So the question begs, why is one of the top 3 (non-cosmetic) mods a tune?

Titanium3er · 08-03-2013, 05:08 PM

Enough that I can still justify choosing the 335. As mentioned above, I don't understand why one would choose an upgraded engine and then never use it.

#Tee · 08-03-2013, 05:09 PM

In 3 days it will be exactly 2 months since ive wot, the wheels just spins and i feel like an ass doing so in public roads.

I agree, but like 90% of the members in here thinks they have a race car and love to hone their inner mario andretti on public roads while thinking ultimate driving machine...must do.

I've seen too many of those at stoplights. I agree, it's anything but flattering.

I think there's a fine line. Ricer revving, making loud noise to get attention, and making an ass of yourself is one thing. A spirited departure on the other hand...

thats true...the other day when no one was around...i gave it 95% throttle on a freeway on ramp. i was briefly reminded ...ahhh thats why ppl love 335s. I felt like such a bad boi but luckily no one was around to witness lol.

DetectiveLoki · 08-03-2013, 05:22 PM

I WOT all the time until recently I blew up my rear right tire... Had to get new tires and do alignment...

AndyR83 · 08-03-2013, 05:24 PM

Indeed. I'm in need of new tires as well. I'm guessing I have 35% tread left. I'm planning to toss them at the end of the season and buy new ones next year. I guess that's a side effect of WOTing lol
