Default C6 vs BMW 135I TT

I was out test driving my car after installing the new TCM (inside the trans) and it shifts like crazy now!

Anyway, Im sitting at a light about to make a U-turn and I see a dude staring at me in a little BMW, light does green and he rips away and I gave chase for about 2 seconds and when my car hit 2nd, the azz end went out (never did that before ) and probably left 5 ft marks going into 2nd. Anyway, I put about 1.5-2 car getting half through 2nd so they are some quick little suckers. We would have gone longer but the road dead ends. Thats the only race I have had in a long time. Car runs great now.

Yea, yea, its much slower than my Cobra. Im still selling it and getting a C6Z.

Good kill!!!! If my wife didn't leave me, that was the car I was going to get. As a customer loyalty incentive, I was gonna get first dibs on one. I even had the 1000 deposit down. A guy I know with a 335 with a procede 2.... front mount intercooler.... custom piping.... and bigger turbos made 480rwhp. Now imagine those same mods done to the smaller lighter 135. The engine and everything is exactly the same. It just weighs 500 pounds less. That would have been a cool *** daily driver for my wife, and a fun weekend toy for me!!!!!

One day I was bored, and I went and bullshitted with the sales people at BMW. I got two test drives out of it. I drove the 135i and the new M3.

I was really impressed with the 135i, that thing was surprisingly quick. The M3 was faster but I would probably get the 135i. That thing is kind of a sleeper.
