Great race with a Z06 Corvette, turbocharged miata, Ferrari 355 Challenge. Lost a number of positions on the start but made a few back and had a great battle with the miata at the end. I had the faster car in the turns but not the straightaway speed and couldn't make the pass stick.

So far my Pinto is the winning combo here.

"With more and more units in circulation, results continue to pour in. In one of the latest tests, Sound Performance swapped out a pair of 67mm turbochargers for a pair of our new HP6262 turbochargers, and the results were amazing. The new HP6262 turbos spooled 500RPM faster, and made 16 more RWHP (1,033RWHP total) at 30lbs of boost. Congrats to the guys over at Sound Performance!"

For 2009 we have taken our 350Z to another level!! Raising the boost, modifying the suspension and a new clutch setup should put us safely into the 8s in the 1/4 mile. Horsepower is now a record setting 1248 RWHP!!
Record after record broken and reset by Sound Performance!!!

With the push button start, the car does all the work so if it does not start, the driver cannot control flooding. It got towed to the dealer and the result was an $ 1,100.00 charge - warrantee denied!! The reasaon; my son drives too many trips under 5 kms so his battery was not charged 100%. He drives 15 kms each way to the gym every day at highway speed but according to BMW - not good enough. They put his keyfob in a reader and it showed every trip, door opening etc. for the last 35 days. Too many short trips.
This is not mentioned by the dealers, in the owners manual or in any printed literature. There is a problem with their cars in cold weather so they are dumping it on their customers.

You may or may not care about cold conditions but the point is that BMW do not stand behind their product when it counts. I am so disgusted, my M5 is for sale. I wanted an Aston anyway but this sped up the process. No more BMW's in my driveway. Rant.......
