I can't tell if the 470hp viper is faster or not, because it had about 500lb feet of torque. Some time at the track will tell. Its much easier to hit all the shifts perfectly with the z4m, and you feel much more in control of the car. After 6000rpm, I'd say the z4m FEELS faster and probably moves faster too. The overall power delivery is just a perfect balance with this kit. Low rpms are great for putting around town quietly, or in the rain, mid range has nice torque to get things moving, and up top its just a snarling beast. Top of 3rd gear is pretty intimidating since you're accelerating very fast into tripple digits
