[335D Alpha Pappa]

Driving in this morning on the interstate, I came across a line of Supercars from Canada heading towards the east coast. Several Ferrai's including an Enzo, Lambo's, an Aston, Porsche's and a Viper.
The little D was able to keep up with them and even lead the pack a few times. The Hurrican wanted to play so we did a couple of 65pmh starts. Was able to keep up with him but could not pass. He never got more than a car length in front. I am sure they could have put the hammer down and left me behind, but this was on the interstate and not a race track. I was glad I was able to keep up and not be left behind.

Definitely agree with ya, the pulling power is insane. When the skinny pedal is mashed, she does not stop....the speedo climbs effortlessly to speeds that in my prior M cars took work to achieve. I have no doubt ungoverned this is a 180mph car. Problem is, the suspension and aero are not! My sport pack feels less planted than I'd like over 110mph. Suspension upgrades are on the eventual to-do list.

Glad you had some fun! I agree, very capable cars indeed. I also wish they were more planted at high speeds. I also have the sport package - I haven't taken it above 130ish since the wheel and tire change recently, but last time I got up above that I felt myself more at edge than when in my 370z..

Anyone got any suggestions to help improve this? I need to limit the suspension travel on mine right now anyway, there is some rubbing on the tires at the limits.

My bilstein shocks made the car feel very planted at speed. Took my car to 140+ once and it didn't feel any different than going 80.

I love when I run into supercars on my S1000rr. A little machine that costs a fraction of the price with more performance and also the need to actually know how to handle the power instead of just hammer and go.

Then the D which pulls so hard in 6th gear. I tell people all the time, race me in top gear and lets see who wins.

[335D Alpha Pappa]

I kept it in 5th and sprinted around them. The only time I hit 6th was with the lambo. Started in manual 4th gear and let the tranny shift on its own. The lambo would always downshift before he took off so I got an early waning. Nice exhaust sounds!

Did someone say 180mph

[335dsleeper]

The 335d sure does feel good from 60-100. I'm sure you had fun playing with those exotics.

335D Pappa Alpha are you modded or stock?

I'm still stock. I put upgrading the D on hold while I rebuild my duramax. I'm trying to figure out how to turn it into a dual turbo setup.

If you take your D out for a run, try it in 5th gear at 3000rpm. You will like the way it handles. It feels like you have to hold it back because the horses want to run!

You have a stock 335d and you're keeping up with 600 hp exotics ? What alternative universe do you live in ?

Try a little reading comprehension. It was on the interstate and not a race trace! Nobody was wide open. Based on his exhaust sounds I am sure the lambo was trying hard to out run me and would have pulled away if we ran long enough. I knew it was outgunned from the start, but at least I ran with one.
it's not how big your engine is, its how big your balls (or nerves) are! All it takes is a deer carcass to ruin your day.

Ok, and why don't you learn to spell and stop using apostrophes for plural use. A "Huracan" turns a mid ten quarter mile, which would work out to be about twenty car lengths at least. Yup, you were "keeping up with them".
