We really need to know what your 335i does at the track to make a fair comparison here. I mean, I documented the times of many 500HP AMG Mercedes 1/4 mile runs. My stock 335i was very close to them in the 1/4 mile. I would like to know how the stock GTO owners do against the SL55, and CLS63 AMG Mercedes. Any GTOs in here actually race a 500HP AMG? I mean, they are supposed to be mid 12's, but actually ran mid-low 13's at LACR. Being that they are automatics, easy to launch, etc. I find it hard to believe that they are all bad drivers, and having bad runs...every time they went down that track. Especially when their best runs were pretty consistantly close. The 335i has its greatest advantage when starting from a standstill. This is why when I raced at LACR, my car was just as quick as many cars that had much higher MPH. You give up a lot of advantage in the 335i when racing from a roll. Again, at higher elevations, from what I have observed time after time, the GTO would not have a chance against a 335i. At sea level, the GTO has a slight advantage. With Procede...they shouldn't...but there seems to be a lot of inconsistant runs reported.

1/4 mile times are kind of irrelevant here. We raced from a roll, not a stop. That takes ET and launching skill out of the race and gives the outcome more to the potential of the car, rather than driver skill. Granted....how fast someone can shift has an impact, but not as much as when you're racing from a dig. Look more at the trap speeds of cars when comparing roll races.
