once you factor in setting up both cars, running 11.x is cheaper in the bmw

I guess. But unless it's a 1M (way more than $40k!) I'd rather look at the Z every day in my driveway.

Though if you get a base Z for ~31k OTD, you can DIY a TT install and probably come out cheaper than the 135...

Agreed.

A 135i with sport or M package (whatever they call it) and a couple options is well over 40K the last time i played around on the bmw website and built one.

Optioned "equally", the 135i is more $$ than the Z. Different type of car, but for the purposes of this exercise, I suppose it's price to get to 11's that matters more I suppose.

i'd pick the z most days... just saying.... the question was basically what you could do for $50k...

ok we have established that the Z is not the only car that can run 11s with modifications and be DD friendly. moving on...

Used 996TT (mid-$50's), runs 11s stock on street tires.

While 99% of people with a stock block twin turbo 370z are going to run mid-high 11's, it IS a 10 second car.

Twin turbos doesnt make the 370z a supercar killer, but it puts it right into this annoying category where its just as fast as most of the fastest cars you will run into on the road. Of course, cars get MUCH faster, but you dont really run into them.

I can prove this happened as I have it on video, and the owner of the GT2 ended up posting on the local Z forum about trying it again with some more boost in his car and no passenger in mine.

That's awesome! Can you PM me a video link? Would love to see it.

Really? That's a long list.
