Any 400+hp rwd/awd car that wants a dig. You will run them down but still

Did u order DR's as well?

 

yea ur right i was over the whole efr thing too i hate waiting for something that u dont even know the release of. I was about to do the same thing as u but the 252et not looking of anything over 420. but then i seen a slightly used efr on ebay and bought it

 

Same here, but most likely won't be running e85, but rather dual nozzles of meth or 110 octane from the track that I can store at the house. No e85 around here at all.

 

Plus external dump is f'in sexy and zzp knows their ****.

 

Yep, I have the external dump as well.

 

yea external dump is the ****...

 

can't beat an external dump..

 

Totally agree with you. I was going to do the same with the s252, but if the EFR doesnt come out anytime soon. I will just sell my car and go 335i.

That **** is sexy.

 

either way you cant go wrong. at the end of the day youre buying a ZZP product so it's still a win. i went with the s256et as well. hopefully when i see them next month ill get into the 420-430 range with ease and reliability. (thats all im looking for, for now). but still very curious to see these results with the efr and how the final product is going to be.

 

You are a smart man! You'll love and see the world of a difference between a Cobalt and a 335i. Plus you wont be wrong wheel drive anymore.

 

Yeah but enjoy paying 10k when your motor goes to **** with that bmw.
A forged shortblock is 3k from zzp.

BMWs are notorious, just like ours, from having issues with the direct injection. There is a world of problems with that motor when it reaches 50k miles.

 

Yea, I know lol. All of my friends have e92 m3's or 335i's. At first I wanted something nobody had, nobody would want. I got it, modded it up. People prop me for how fast my 4 banger turbo is and how I rape their m3's etc. I'm just bored with the crappy quality, it's so shitty inside and out.

I wont disagree with you on that one. You're totally right, but not too many motors go to **** if tuned and modded properly. Those engines are putting some work. I'm on the bimmer forums a lot(I like to be educated about the car's I race ) They have turbo upgrades for about 2500. Bolt on twins called RB turbo's hit about 500 whp stock fueling stock motor. I want to go to that platform. Esp since it is a beautiful ride as well besides and inline 6 twin turbo. HPF and Vishnu are about to release their single turbo kit as well so the options are opening up for the 335 slowly as well.


Anyways, sorry for thread jacking. I'm still very interested in the EFR. I really want that so I can feel what 400+ whp on a 2900 fwd car will feel like. Esp cause I want to rape my friends C6 vette. And of course brag that Ihave a big turbo, unlike other turbo's. I have an EFR .

 

any updates on what stage production is at now?

 

Just wait and dont think about, before you know it, itll be here.

 

I hope so! I have the cash ready at hand for a group buy or w/e once it's available.

 

yea im in the same boat... really not trying to think about it right now but its hard lol

 

Worst part about this is 335i = 12-15 MPG City 17-19 HWY with a 23 psi tune...

 

Hope you aren't planning on taking the 335 to the track. A real one. No diff. I constantly run down 335/135, and my friend's 1 Series M And he is a good instructor/driver.

 

Lol, I can't argue with that. The way the car looks and feels is honestly worth it though.

I mean, it does depend on the track. I can agree that our cars love corners, I can corner so hard in my car with stability. I don't track my car more than once a month at the most, so I'm not worried about that. I just want a ride that is comfortable and isn't cheap quality (interior wise).

I usually run at Big willow @ willow springs international raceway. You should check the map out, it's a pretty sick track. Avg probably about 90 mph, on the straight I hit about 130+.

 

so when this comes out.. if you already have full bolt ones and what not, all you'll need is the turbo itself and your good to go?

 

Yes, that is pretty much the case. It's made to fit like stock, so all aftermarket mods should fit.

 

But from what i understand you a beast at the track

 

I get the whole I own a cheaper car that can beat your more expensive car thing.

But any of you saying you would own a Cobalt SS/TC over a BMW 335i or 135i are living in an altered reality.

The Cobalt SS/TC is a cheap econo budget performance car, probably the best bang for the buck to come out since DSM's, but its still a Cobalt.

 

Wow screw that. There's plenty of v8 rwd cars that get way better gas milage. Like 10mpg more highway...

However I do like the 135i and the e92 m3

 

5.0 Mustang GT e.g. 24-25mpg tuned. VVT does wonders.
