Dont be, it's great conversation and we all learn from it. Now I haven't seen THAT many 370z dyno pulls, but it appears most of your power is above 5.5k.

Where as most turbo vehicles start hitting peak power around 5.5k - something the 335i deals with. The torque really shoots you out front, but after about 100mph it's anyones game - more often then not the larger NA engine. Myself and ArnVan on this forum run a lot and it really is awesome how much power the VQ puts out top end.

I know I'll probably be flamed for posting this.. but they recently released the new m3 gts. More of a track version than a DD.
