Nice tech info. But I believe this engine was mentioned in the new 07 G forum. I'd repost this into that thread so it's complete

 

if those #'s are right, u can expect the G sedan to be a hair under them

 

Probably no way that this would beat or even keep up with the current E46 M3? Would it?

 

Nope...I doubt this could even keep up with the upcoming BMW 335i

 

This new VQ can still tea bag a bimmer. That twin turbo 6 bmw is commin out with is lower on torque and horsepower. Just wait until someone boosts

 

G35_TX is your car SOLD or your rims?????????

 

u think we could use parts off of the VQ35HR on our motor, to get those numbers or not

 

Car, rims still avail.

 

wat a shame!!!

those things should have sold by now, i prob would have bought them if I could run staggered

 

its nice to see new engines.. bleh.. i love my car the way it is.. maybe ill trade mine after a couple years when the new ones are stable.. new cars = lotta problems.. although its covered under warranty.. its not hassel free.. =)
