I know the numbers... I'm just saying... I own both cars and it's really hard for me to say the S2000 is significantly faster.
What makes the 335 so great is that it's peak tq output lasts halfway through the power band. Stock, the 335 can sometimes put down 270ish hp to the wheels and 290lb of torque.

Seriously though, its not about "how it feels" its about how that extra 10mph trap speed will BURY! that 335 from a roll!

The 335i is just a tad slower than a stock Vortech w/AC S2000.
The car is a beast though, easy to mod. XEDE already released their stage 1 kit that already put down 360+ whp and 400+ wtq.

Kinda like saying a stock prelude is only a tad slower than an 07 S2K

A vortech s2000 wont "destroy" a 335. I don't know how else to explain it to you. It's faster, but not by that much.

The OP has a Comptech S/C, not Vortech, and is probably running stock boost too (5 psi?). The result sounds about right.

the SC s2000 won't "feel" faster because is still makes all the power up top...not the instant torque you get at like 1500rpm with the 335i...
a vortech s2000 will trap upwards of 108mph, which is enough to destroy a stock 335i....

if you can find a 335i in vegas, on the bimmer forums, i will run it, from a dig and from a roll. on film if youd like. this challenge always stands. its worked with several forums so far. later dave

it will come with a 400hp v8 and run you around 65-70k

The 335 looks fast from what i've seen, however, I question how it corners...
I had a 2001 330ci at the same time my S2 was stock, and the S2 was definitely faster and cornered 20x better than my 330ci.
