The other day I raced a...

C600 Benz. He pretty much so smoked me. I had no idea what this car was all about until I got home and looked it up on the web. I could see it had some big, fat tires and I know that the higher the number the more expensive it is

Also raced a Pontiac GTO. I always liked these cars and the 6 liter engine designation is kind of intimidating. He got me by about half a car length. Noisy beast though.

Still waiting for a 335 - wanna see what they're all about.

Did feel pretty good about that minivan though...

This was all on a track, of course.

Nice, I want to go against a 335i also.

Any mods on your car?

our Gs are really underestimated..
people have to understand firstly due to the 335i being twin turbo the 335i produces way more torque, which means better start.. thats about it, the 335 takes the lead and stays there. Now simple mods like exhaust, intakes. tune and the g37 is not only up to par but will beat a 335i. Add a twin turbo and our gs can produce more power then the fabled GTR and gtm has kits that give our Gs more power then a Ferrari 458 or any Lamborghini avail today..
now that to me beats the 335i and even m3, why? because i know what our engines are capable of, the max a 335i can produce is 450, gtm can make our cars produce 1000

Best of luck matching and being able to "USE" more horsepower on a G than an LP-670..

And i am pretty positive you weren't comparing the capabilities of our cars to that of an UnderGround Racing Gallardo right?

No, bone stock. It has to serve as a family sedan at times so that limits my options. Hope to put some bags on it though cause I'd like it a little lower.

Add bigger turbos and build the engine, and any car and make 1000+ hp.

GTM has yet to build this 1000 hp beast.

I've raced both an older M3 and older M5 (mid 90's) and did rather well. Raced an SRT8 300C and beat him...probably a crappy driver cus it shoulda smoked me. (all on a track ofcourse)

Wow yea i would have thought the SRT8 would have fared better even though they weigh 6-7 hundred pounds more..

im not saying our cars can beat the lambo or even use the full 1000HP
but its the fact that it is available for our car that pleases me more then owning a 335i,
my dad has a m5, and my last car before my mazda rx8 was a 335i, i prefer the G outta all of them except the m5 LOL
