Not a bad thing.
Just wish they would of dumped the NA V6 and gone the way of BMW with a twin turbo 3.0 liter 6.
Smaller, lighter, with more power and equal gas mileage.
Would of been great to have that option.
Then it's a simple chip tune (or piggyback) away from much more power.
But anyway, that's OT.

So the replies your getting is no surprise.OT: Like Arnold K mentioned the 370 is stated to be lighter with more hp and would hence smoke a stock 335 and out handle the rather portly M3.
Piggybacks you say? Too bad a Procede or Vishnu etc.. Esp with the new BMW software updates. Well void your bmw oem warranty faster than a fuel pump failure. Your not the only BMW owner here ya know.

Yeah, thought so?
If you some of you guys don't have anything to contribute but criticism or just simply don't believe it, move on. Your posts otherwise are the ones that are truly worthless, sorry.

True I guess. No belief or trust these days.
As for the power to weight, well, the 335i is underrated stock.
13.4 @ 105-106 stock
As I said, the new 370Z with 100-50 lbs less weight and 350 hp SHOULD beat it, but in theory, the current 306 hp 3300 lbs one should too, but the 335i walks it.
So I'd hope the new 370Z would at least equal it and maybe pull a bit.
If the 370Z does the 1/4 in 13.2 @ 107+ mph it will.
As for tune voiding warranty? LOL
So, in theory does any tune, performance mod you do to ANY car.
That's why you remove it for service (takes about 15 minutes).
No different than any other car or aftermarket mods, except that extra 90+ hp is easy to remove where on NA cars it take s slew of stuff to get 1/2 that power gain and hours of time to remove or install.
LOL at the fuel pump. Yeah, that affected like 5-10% of early 335i owners. And like 0.5% now with the change in part from their supplier. No biggie. Guess it's better than having an engine that consumes oil and may need to be replaced (among other known issues) huh?
Never assumed I was the only BMW owner here. LOL
He could see the roof because he was probably in his minivan with his wife and kids. He's had CF on two of his BMW's as well, so he knows what it looks like too.
Like I said, it could of been a "one-off" prototype model and maybe the CF hood won't make it too production.
But I was just passing on what he t old me he clearly saw driving "along side" the camo'd new 370Z

Hope it does come out with a CF roof too. It would be good for Nissan and the car.
Then maybe guys like the one I quoted here, WILL have something to contribute on his own own board and in other people's threads...other than something truly worthless.....his skepticism and criticism.
Later all.

Again, just thought I'd pass on what a good trusted friend of mine saw today about the CF roof on the 370Z to you Z enthusiasts.
You can believe it or not, that's your choice, but thought you guys might be more excited, rather than all cynical and critical.
Oops, sorry, my bad....I guess.

Sure, I could start my own thread and tell people my neighbors dog saw the 370Z with a carbon fiber hood cruising down the street. Or I could go over to the BMW forum and post up that I saw the new M12 with a carbon fiber hood. Get us some pics bro.

That doesn't make it true or not, but I think you'd agree that the chastising remarks from some are likely frustrating to someone in his position. Imagine what Proteus felt like. I think that if people posted remarks more along the lines of "Interesting if true, but I don't think it's likely and here's why..." instead of the usual witless remarks, there would be far less back and forth along the pointless lines and maybe some discussion of why this is or isn't feasible would be discussed.
But I think if you are going to post up something like this on this forum, which we see a lot of, there needs to be some real evidence. Anybody can say they saw something or their friend saw something.
Show us some pics and we can move forward.
