You are easily going to need a built motor with a bigger blower and a built DCT transmission to keep up - which has never been done on the S65 platform thus far.

I guess it depends on mods but these certainly weren't 140mph trap Z's and I am not dilusional about the performance of my M3 which is nothing more than a basic intercooled ESS kit with catless exhaust.
Taking power to weight into consideration, my car should be able to run with a ~ 530 RWHP Z and as you know, they don't make that stock.
Heck, I would have been happy just to run with a stock Z06 but the fact that I ran with two modded ones was nice. By the way these Z's both ran/beat a ZR1.

btw,...how are you liking that wavetrac LSD on your 335I? I'm getting it installed early next year.

The LSD (together with the Michelin PSS) was the best thing I did for the 335. The car was undrivable at it limit with the open diff given how much HP/TQ I was making. Wtih the LSD, the car became a blast to drive, both on the track and on the street. It was so much fun to launch from a dead stop. Even in the rain I cut sub-4 second 0-60 times. It probably accelerated faster than my M3 from a stop up to 100. Reminds me that I need to do some VBox acceleration runs in my M.

lol yeah sorry I was assuming he was going to pull on me. You can actually see his shadow during the entire run except when I started pulling at the end.

The right lane seemed worse to me but on this run it didn't matter as we both spun a little bit but stayed side-by-side until about 130 mph where I began to creep ahead.
