The car has been tested by a magazine with a 13.0 @ 110 mph 1/4 mile time. It weighs 3,849 lbs and has 426 hp and 420 ftlb tq…which is 9.04lbs/hp. I am sure once guys get it to the track they will dip into the 12’s bone stock…i guess that they “can’t blister out if it’s own way”? I know you don’t care if your 135i isnt as fast but it has 300 hp and weighs 3,373lbs…11.24lbs/hp…so I guess it is even more “underpowered” than the SS.

…not to mention the SS had a nurburgring lap time of 8:19…same as a M3 and a Audi RS6…and faster than a skyline gt-r…but yep your right it is a pig that can’t get out of it’s own way…

Now think the Z28 is coming out soon and it will have 556 hp…guess that will have barely enough power right?
