Because I'd much rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
For me the 128 is better balanced, sounds better and does the things I want out of a sports car better than the 135.
I will totally give the 135 all the kudos for straight line speed. The thing was a monster and it was barely modded.
Torque and top speed are not something I judge my cars by. Although you do have to have a minimum power to weight ratio...and the 128 is fine.
I was the same way with my SpecE30 325i racecar and my track toy 318is. My most fun track days were in the 318is. I have to say that the actual racing with SpecE30 was some of the most fun I ever had on track....but the 318is e30 was the better driver.
Either way I don't want to start the N55/54 vs n52 debate in my thread...
