Has anyone ever beat a Procede 335?

Is this a silly question? I've been watching several videos here in E90, mostly Procede 335 kills, and I'm amazed on how easy it walks away from seriously powerful cars like 500+whp Supra TTs, M6s, highly modified Evos (even from a ditch!), Skylines, all sorts of Vettes including Z06s, supercharged M5s, SL55/63 AMGs...you name them. At this point the Procede 335 seems to be an unbeatable car unless you put it against an Enzo or a Veyron. However, I'm a little bit skeptical due to the fact that the 335's superiority is not translating to the track and most of the cars I previously mentioned would definitely beat the 335 at the quarter

Your thoughts?

you'll find your answer in other car forums.

Think about it this way, and I'm talking about the majority of the population, who would post a video titled "woohoo, I came in 2nd, I got beat"

It's human nature to gloat when one is victorious, not when one is second best.

E90post -- "fair and balanced...."

[sorry -- that may be a bit cryptic, we have this absurd baffoonery of a TV show here in the US that masquerades as News on the Fox channel that has to repeatedly state that phrase to try and delude the watching public that the propaganda drivel they are being fed is somewhere close to reality. My point being that we are not posting our losses up here -- go to the P-car or 'vette forums to see how lowly bimmers are getting trounced.]

Yes this is a silly question. Everyone knows that the 335i is unbeatable. As concrete evidence I took down my buddies Gulfstream G350 the other day. I had to remove the speed limiter so I could get to his liftoff speed (175) but I smoked him till he rotated. 335i's rule...

335i's are great cars but are not overly fast. I dont have proceed yet(should get anyday hopefully) but have had lots of close runs with srt-4's,ford lightnings,350z's where if you didnt get the jump you are not going to pull unless you take it way over 120mph.

You are just moving up a noch with proceed to have the same types of races with corvettes,mustangs,gto's,911's which if modded will hand you your ass.

. I get what your saying but please don't use the fanboy postings of this forum as an accurate reflection of reality...There are multiple production cars that a Procede 335 will not beat unless another one of those cars in pushing the 335 from behind.

lol......thats a pretty funny post. PROceded 335's are quick no doubt, especially when doing runs up to about 75/80 mph. But lets get real here, untill they get bigger Turbos, they are not in the same league as some of the fast production cars. Here is a couple videos to remind the 335is owners

CEA's PROcede 335i with Exhaust vs Audi S4 Avant..............
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIlNiPsxS70

and this is a repost 3-way between SC M3, S4 Avant, and WalkedU's 335i (which hangs around for a couple second, till we hit about 75/80 or so.........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GizTOEeVoY4

Then there is another repost (sorry) of PROceded 335i Coupe slowly being pulled by a N/A M3.............
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs8wC6KFvQE

PS. 500 whp TT Supras? Is there video for that, sounds like a lo-speed to 80/90 race/run?

in this thread a guy posted a bunch of times from the dragstrip where the 335 was 3-5 MPH slower in the quarter mile than SL55, cl63

plenty of cars are faster than 335's even chipped 335's

Funny my car trapped 106 that day buddy, just like the AMG's. Just my launch got worse throughout the day cause the rubber build up on the track.

My 335 gets smoked all day by my buddies STI with a GT35R. Also my buddies 800+hp supercharged Viper truck will smoke all 335's. See its not the fastest car in the world...
