> [@King](#): > > …what? > glad that nissans flagship car (besides the huge ugly gtr) is finally competing with bmws lowest line? 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… ---

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 ---

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” 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. ---
