WS6 owner said - revlimiter and wheelspin (and each time I pulled a little more) This was in the 335 with the JB3 1.3
I saw this white 6sp-WS6 saturday night. Whipped it around and got beside him. Didn't even take much to get him to roll into the throttle beside me. I could tell he had a cutout at least.
When we stopped at a light I asked if it was a stock cam. He said z06 with z06 intake. I asked if he was making about 370 at the ground and he said almost 400.
We ended up making a 30-80 run (him waiting for me to come up beside) and then another run from 40-120. Both times he dropped a couple of cars back.
He then asked me to pull over. We talked for a bit (he said the cutout was open). He appeared to not be aware the BMW made a TT 6cyl.
Said he hit the revlimiter in second and it also just spun.
Said he got the car about 2 weeks ago and it needs tires.
I asked if the heads were stock and he said he thought the previous owner had said some work had been done to them.
I happened to be running the more conservative 91 octane map at the time. Probably 340-350 at the ground.
I am still looking to see how the little 6cyl will do against a autotrans LS3-c6. Not too many around that I have seen.

A 3200lb Ls3 C6 is a MUCH different animal than 3500lb Ws6 w/a small cam and (possible bolt ons). Good kill on the Ws6, but unless you get a bad driver in the C6, I think you need more Hp.
I do love the 335s though. Glad at least some of you race them!

Everything I am seeing puts c6s about 3300lbs and 360-365hp for the auto. The 335 on map7 (which requires 97-98 octane) are pulling 380+ at the ground and right about 400 with dp. Im sure in the 130 range the vette would begin to dominate. Time will tell.

And I had skittles for breakfast
I had to go get a prescription filled for the wife and I found a little red SRT-4. Sounded like it had a little work done. Exhaust a little louder than I would have expected and heard the old blowoff valve.
We both turned on major 3 wide street. I gas it a little and hear him get in it pretty good. He comes tooling by but I stopped the pull.
We both turn right on to another 3 lane street (that heads to the freeway) and he says just go. The 335 pulled pretty good then and he was disappearing in the mirror quick.
We briefly speak at the last like before the highway and he said he has 15psi (and I thought he said 300wheelHP). He complements me on the car and I have to go back to priority 1.
Fortunately I didn't even have to delay the primary objective at all - just got it done a little quicker. And REALLY fortunately for me the local PD did not complicate my trip.

Well, I guess I just got paid back - bc I just got hit in the passenger side door in a parking lot by a DODGE RAM truck. Probably doing 20+. Surprised it was not a lot worse.
I managed to steer away a bit. The red circles are where something inside the door managed to poke the door panel from the inside. After removing the white paint it does not look TOO bad.
