It's not a true sports car, that's not why I bought it. The lowest boost setting brings it to 360 rwhp, and I can add another 3 psi or so on top of that. It's not a drivers race against anybody that isn't Jnaut...I have no trouble turning out sub 5 second 0-60 times starting in 2nd gear, and 0-100 is right around 10 or less. The Z was lucky to do that in high 11's.

Bottom line is you guys are frustrating me...I am still a loyal Z enthusiast, but I'm just pointing out how disappointing it is that Nissan put such an un-tunable motor into the 370. The car would be awesome if you could pump out 400 rwhp for under a grand. Unfortunately, you can't, and as a result...the 135i has been a much more "fun" alternative to my Z.
Untunable motor?! Are you serious! First off VVEL hasnt even been cracked, there are so many parameters that havent even been touched. Right now its just AF ratio, timming and a few other little adjustments...and even for what it is, it still makes decent power on a tune. Second, you need to realize that your "just a tune" is for your TURBOS! You have what 300hp/300tq TWIN TURBO charged straight 6 right? Well of course a tune is gonna do allot for for you, you have (2) huge power adders right there. That straight 6 motor with out the AID of turbos wouldnt tune for than 10-15rwhp. NA gain VS FI gain is a retarded comparison. In fact i dont know any motor in the history of man (maybe you can enlighten) that is NA with "just a tune" that picks up over 150rwhp. Your tuning for the TURBOS not the motor...that motor is nothing more power than a Scion TC without the turbos. Third, about the handling, you say that with just sways and this and that you can keep up with a 370Z..? Am sure, maybe, but what 370Z is gonna stay stock anyway?! Stock for stock, mod for mod the 135I will not outhandle the Z.../
