From a couple of people that I know of that had them, they launch incredibly well off the line. No idea on times or anything else.

I used to have a black one, and it would EASILY walk away from most Escort Cosworths!!

Absolute animal it was, hard as nails!

Would definitely have one again!

Seriously? WOW fuck thats mental.. You deffo sure? what mph though?

My mates 300bhp cant get away from me (Rolling 60mph) and i pull past and away not long after. But i did tell him he would kill me from a standing start.

They do 14s stock dont they?

never owned 1, but drove/worked on a few
i'm gonns hate myself for saying it but
thet drive realy well actualy,
mate had 1 with just over 300bhp, was a flying machine
done 13's at crail so the 12's at the pod sound about right
i'd have 1 no bother, realy well put together,
gearbox's are soft, not the easiest to work on,
but you could buy worse, just make sure it hasn't been over abused and killed

Well, having owned a 280bhp Pulsar, and having driven 335d's practically every week, if not every day for nearly 2 years when i worked for BMW, even though the 335's are fantastic cars, there is no way they would out run a pulsar.... whether it be from stand still or 60mph rolling.....

I like em,
A mad had a 300ish BHP one and it Flew, was agressive on boost and never hailed him anything. It just suffered the dreaded tin worm on rear arches ect

I'd have one for some fun....

Trust me carl, youd know if i had 'bitten your head off' all i am saying is, is his pulsar is a GENUINE 300bhp, then it WOULD be able to pull away from you. stand still OR rolling.

Simple really.

Fair enough.

Maybe it isnt 300bhp then.

stand still is different kettle of fish, they just fuck off literally, i know that.


But rolling? I have 50bhp more + shit loads of torque and he has 4WD tranny losses and like i said it was close for a bit..

Ill tell him to get roaded. But i wont tell him to meet me at the pod (cry)

I suppose once the speed starts building up then the balls that your 335d must have will pay dividends but I haven't had first hand experience of either cars so couldn't say. Maria probably does know what she's talking about if she has had one before and worked at BMW.

i am not reffering to youre latest "encounter" i dont care in the slightest,the thing is this, when i see youre name as the op on a thread i immediately think 0-60 pod 1/4 mile times i raced this that etc blah blah blah,im sure im not the only one who finds this tedious childish and very boring. i am now going to try not to look at youre posts from now on as its obvious that you think people give a fuck and as such keep posting such drivel.
