Am I the only one to think that the 135i is pretty quick outta the box??

KinoBoom · 07-01-2011, 08:01 AM

LSD is one of the must do's on this car... until then, I will be burning the "RUNCRAPS" a bit...

OK then. Just so we're clear. The 135 is in a different class than the two you mentioned and really shouldn't be compared to each other, as good as the 135 is in its true 'class of automobile'.

I love both cars but this is the one that's in the higher class.

That's what I thought you meant. I agree

. I test drove a c6 ls3 before buying the 1 and traded in a Cayman S for it. I don't care that they are faster cars on the track (and in a straight line in the case of the c6).

I know I should leave it alone but I can't. Why do Vette drivers get so upset anytime anybody dares to say there are better cars out there? Believe it or not, Vettes are not God's gift to petrolsexuals (using Clarkson's new term). Other people are allowed their opinion.

To the OP, glad you agree with us. But I also don't think there is much wrong with the stock suspension as a daily driver that a better front sway bar can't fix.

Surely, you jest!

I'm going sway springs probably. Not in a hurry to modify it tho. It's my DD and I used it all day. Going full time to UT can't ask for a better small ride that fits in little parking spots.

I've driven both and much prefer the 135. NA cars just don't do it for me like turbos--I haven't driven the M3. Corvettes are still beautiful, wonderful cars, but the 135 is certainly comparable.

Lol. I knew that would be misunderstood, it wasn't meant to be an outdated "american cars can't handle" joke.
I meant that the Cayman is faster around a track and equal at best in a straight line (but no torque so it feel slower).
The Vette is faster around a track and also faster in a straight line.

The corvette owners on this board are very defensive lately over obvious miscommunications lol. We know you rule the road more than a stock 135i but just wait until you run into an Underground TT Gallardo

BrokenVert · 07-01-2011, 10:35 AM

I still hate vette owners because one of you bastards blew past me WOT in a straight pipe z06 when I had the top down...

That bastard made me def for 10 minutes...

Im not upset. I pointed out something I disagree with.
Are there quicker, faster, better handling cars out there than the Corvette? Yup. Just so happens, the 135 aint one of them. Dont you be upset with the hard facts. Take your head out of the sand.

petrosexuals eh? The Corvette gets just about the same EPA rating as the 135 and pumps out 130 more hp.
C6-16/26mpg ///135i-17/25mpg

Heres my two cars, I like them both, for very different reasons.

BMW did a great job on it even though it needs a few suspension tweaks and other little things... So I thought I would share this out loud!

I definitely agree! Previous drives E9XM3, Porsche 911, BoxsterS, CaymanS, Cayenne Turbo, Merc SL500, also previous iterations of M cars.

Current ride is 135i with DCT. First car that continues to amuse every time I get in it.

I will say my daughter's X6 5.0 is a real kick in the pants.

I dont care what you care or dont care about. You brought Porsches and Corvettes into the conversation. If you want to start a thread and dont want to talk about them.......dont mention em.

Sylon · 07-01-2011, 05:44 PM

A lot of the members on this forum fight their opinions to the death instead of just letting it go. Move on people, be the bigger man.

just keep your unneeded comments out of my thread or even all of them. if you have something nice say it if you don't then don't!
No one is talking down or under evaluating your "precious" Vette... I had more of those than you will ever and love them but this is not what the discussion is about.
I am simply trying to make a statement and you are acting out...
I would actually appreciate it if you stop posting in my thread period. if you need a group hug go to: www.corvetteforum.com

I'll comment in any thread I choose whether you like it or not.
So, you've have 'had' more Vettes than me, eh? You are full of shit and sound like a little kid. You made a statement I commented on it, deal with it. Different opinions are all around you. Man up and accept that your statement is not one everyone else agrees with.
Heres another pic of my car to make you blow your lid even more. Im a member of TCF already but thanks for the link anyway.
