370 vs 135

tvfreakazoid · 04-25-2009, 04:13 AM

When they tested the 370 and 135 bmw, they were practically the same (0 to 60, quarter mile, braking and whatever else), you would think the 370 would do a little better due to having more hp than the 135. Is it the power to weight ratio or is it because the bimmer is turboed or does the bimmer get more power at lower rpm's or a combo of all of them?

My second question is, is it better to get more power in the lower rpm's or highter? What are the disadvantage and the advantage?
I asked this because the 370 needs to get really high in the rpm's to get the most power. Thanks.
