pretty damn close results. Glad the Z is finally competing where it should be.
…what?
glad that nissans flagship car (besides the huge ugly gtr) is finally competing with bmws lowest line?
I thought that article sucked in general.
I read the article in car and driver on the weekend. I am very impressed with the power out of that V6
I think its right on par… 135i = small sporty coupe… 370Z = small sporty coupe.
The GTR should be the M3 competitor…
I think it all lines up…
This Nissan 370Z with its own brake upgrades stopped in 101 feet on the first and fifth attempts, proving highly resistant to fade. These are solid, powerful brakes that give you confidence, to be sure.
sounds pretty impressive to me…
too bad they both look like shit
i like the 350/370 but i LOVE the 135
you stopped a couple lines early…
Of course, we discovered that repeated hammering on the Nissan’s brake pedal deformed something in the linkage in a way that makes at least one sensor think the brake pedal is constantly on. When this happens, the throttle will default to only 20 percent input (a similar strategy to prevent unintended acceleration is featured by cars from the German manufacturers, among others). The quick fix is to simply lift the brake pedal with the toe of your left foot, and then later we taped a couple pennies between the sensor and the perch it was looking for.
I lol’ed
LOL I did!
maybe if it was competing with the 125i, I would agree with you. However, I beleive(could be wrong), that the 135 and 335 both produce rather similar numbers. Also, This is a top of the line 1 and 3 series we are talking about. Twin Turbo V6 powerplant is not really “bottom of the line”
hah, yeah that is pretty funny actually. Pre-production model. Good “hack” though.
any BMW V6 is the bottom of the line model… so low its a MB
any BMW V6 is the bottom of the line model… so low its a MB
oops. i forgot while i was typing that it was an inline 6
ZING :lol:
Yes, affirmative.
no i agree theyre somewhat similar, as far as power, theyre on par i guess youre right, sure…im just busting your balls, its funny how you say finally a car thats been around for near 40 years is competing with bmws line that is their lowest and been around for a couple years.
and its their little turd econo car with a 3series motor stuffed in it vs. a sports car. lol.
135i = little turd econo car? srsly?
ball busting can only go so far before it turns to ridiculous lol
