That car was a beast with unbelievable torque and hole shot capabilities but I honestly don't think it compares to baseline and light modding ability of the 135, especially around a track. This is my first BMW and definitely not my last.
Sorry OP no thread jack intended! I actually was going to pick up a GT500 because they are nearly unbeatable for their price and abilities. Plus those new 2013's decimate almost any new car on the market. Sorry corvette owners but
You have met your demise with his beast of a car.
Congrats man, And welcome to the world of true modern American muscle!

The gt 500 is far from an 06 which if would only run low 12s on drags clearly wasn't a straight line beast nor would expect that any good on the track. The new gen mustang is good on the track. The boss beats an m3 and the huge hp gte500 will be quite impressive for sure.
I own a vette but I'm no fanboy. For the money yes the gt 500 will not be beat straight line but it's still heavy and running on a solid rear. The z06 (z07 package) and zr1 will still be the most capable American cars.
Back on topic have fun with the car it's a completely different animal than your 135, for good and for bad. I love my 600+hp vette and my 135 for different reasons. I'm glad to have both because too much of either leaves me wanting the other.
