Yes, but with all those upgrades, you can't compete in stock classes in Solo2. [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
I don't see why everybody has to get so defensive. There's no right or wrong answer here. Just throw out the good and bad points as you see them. Everybody else is going to have a different opinion, from slightly different to vastly different.
Take me for instance. If I didn't have a family, I'd be driving the 330i, without the perf pkg. The perf pkg restricts you from getting some other things in the car that I'd want, and I don't care for 18" and larger rims. The G35, however, is the perfect car for me for this point in my life. It's not the best car for everyone, though. If money were no object, I'd probably have a 530i for a daily car and be on the wait list for a Lotus Elise for weekend use. Why? You can't put all the luxury and all the sport into one vehicle. If you want it all, you need two cars. If you have to compromise, it's a personal decision as to how much sport/luxury/practicality you need. Right now, I need a G35. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Note: Another car that will soon join the ranks of these two, if they'd hurry up and push it out the door, is the CTS with the new 3.6L motor and the manual tranny. Right now you can only get one or the other.

>> i will never rep bmw i think they are weak cars and not cars for true enthousiasts (spelling) <<
Yeah, right. There's a couple hundred thousand BMWCCA members that might have a problem with a statement like that. See you at the races.

Re: G35 6MT VS 330i ZHP
Here is some data for everyone to look at from Car and Driver:
330i with Performance Package Road Test
G35 Sedan 6MT Road Test
G35 Coupe 6MT vs RX-8 vs Mustang Cobra
The on-line article is missing the cart from the printed article, but the coupe ran a 14.2@100, 0-130 in 26.8 seconds and a govenor limited 155 mph. Yes, by there numbers both the 6-MT Coupe and Sedan were faster. Also, despite all the suspension improvements; the Performance Package for the 330i still does not include an LSD.

The 330 is also electronically limitied to 128. The G35 is at 145.

If I'm not mistaken, the ZHP package is limited to 155, not 128.
