That "paid off" magazine conspiracy thing has been going on for years. It helps people feel better about themselves when their car doesn't win.

So many car brands have won some and lost some that those doing the "payoff" should stop wasting their money. ha!

Yes, they can. If you had read the article for the correct information you would have known that there was something wrong with the particular speed6 they were testing.

You can't use 1 race or 1 article or 1 experience and then transfer that to the rest of the world.

This isn't "mag racing". The point some are trying to impart to you is that you need to have greater information in order to form a defintive statement. "Mag racing" is when someone takes 1 article that put their car at a very fast 0-60 or 1/4 mile, and then says he can beat another certain car because 1 other mag test got a slower 0-60.

The problem is your comments are too broad from your one experience to apply to the general group of cars.
I don't doubt that a 330i can beat a G35 in a specific race, but I wouldn't then say every 330i can beat a G35.

I never said I had one experience toying with one. Had plenty and havent been beaten yet. And no i dont compare magazines and then say ok Im going to beat you. I was simply stating the fact that each mag gets different times. Depending on driver, car, conditions. Ect.
Magazines say 330 goes 0-60 in 6.1 some say 6.3 and 6.5 some said 5.4 5.7 5.9 i read all the articles . Wow great for them, my car feels alot faster then 6.1 or 6.5 and when i used a stop watch i got around 5.6 and it sure feels like it does it that fast. So you saying my 1 experience and taking 1 mag article then racing. So no you are wrong. I never look at mags when some punk pulls up next to me in a 350Z or a G35. When i first got the car i thought i was toast. But then i beat one. i thought i got lucky, then beat another and another and another. even my friend who has a 6speed g35 who can drive cant beat me. we switch cars he drove my 330 i drove the G and I couldnt beat him. To me the car doesnt feel as quick as a 330. Close but not. And "Agent" im sure you seen the post with the vids. His 330 seems a bit tooooo quick. But if hes saying he can beat a g35 in his automatic 330, and i have gone against my moms 330Xi (E90) Auto from a 40 - 100 roll i had a good 3/4 car length on it. I have the vid. Ill send it to you, you can post it if you like I dont care.

the only real way to figure out how fast is your 0-60 get a g-meter or take it to the track!! plus i think it depends on the driver not the car (well most of the time), i know this form experiance(when i raced a 04civic lx with my e30 i won by atleast 3 car lengths, and when i raced a si(the older ones, the ones that come in blue) i was infront untill i hit 80 cuse when he pased me he was dubleclutching like crazy(this proves that hondas have no tq), so i lost against the si cuse he drove better)

Well, my 330i is on order....

Just to clarify i'm not mag racing either. I HAVE an actual auto G35(280hp) to compare to my 330i. Well it's my brother's but since he lives with me i can drive it any time i like. And i've raced him in it many times. It can't keep up. If you guys want a video i'll make a video.

Had an Acura in my mirror while doing about 70mph on a freeway. Thought it was a TSX, and was thinking 'watch this' as I stomped it down. To my dismay, the Acura did not lose even a foot of ground. When I got off my exit, I saw it was a TL.
