I was out at SOW CCW last night, I was in a Z06 but there were 2 135's out there. There was a white one, if I remember correctly owned by jbvalenzuela on here, that ran a 1.29.9. He was on RS3's, BMW springs, M3 FCA's and an accessport. I ran that track once in my 135 with KW V3's and a JB4 on RS3's as well and ran a 1.29 dead but it was over 120 that day. Honestly when I sold my 1 series all hooked up, FBO, Camber plates etc that car could have gotten into the 26's, maybe even 25's if I wasn't such a puss in the bowl!

I will also add, while I haven't had good tires on my C5 Z06 yet (OLD ps2's), I have yet to beat any times I ran in my 135. Do not underestimate these cars, I could run blistering times all day in the 1 and barely think about it. In the Z I am literally on the brink of disaster at all times lol.

Coming from a S2K, you will be disappointed. My best friend has a bone stock S2K Ap2 with tires and he's always in my rear view of my Z4 track car. The only reason I can pull an extra second on him is because he won't go past 8/10ths and the fact I have an extra 50hp. If he had coilovers though, it'd be a different story.
