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
honestly tom you simply would not believe how comfy those seats are!!! they do some with minimal padding and i swear they are alot more comfy than youd ever believe easily DD-able.....

now.... do you get what i meant when i said the kit is perfectly in keeping with the stock powerband and ///M mantra of high rev power??
the big centri basically keeps the stock curve and moves it higher, so much fun and i agree 3rd is jail just waiting to happen.

it feels like we swapped out the motor for a high rev V8........ infact this is my first s/c car after a long line of turbo cars and im utterly convinced by supercharging, the power delivery is perfection and sooo much more controllable,..... my rear tyes are taking a serious beating right now!! lol

honestly..... right now, i simply cant think of another car that i would rather own that wouldnt bankrupt me to buy... the kit has not only transformed my car but also my ownership experience.

so whats next for your car and any videos???
