AWESOME article!!! Congrats to Shiv and Vishnu Performance. As we ALL know by now, the PROcede 335i is at the forefront of 335i tuning and hats off to Shiv and his gang for working so hard to develop this product.

Shiv, we hope you remember us (especially all your beta testers) after you make your fortune!

Nice writeup. But incomplete. E.g., why would they choose neuspeed? Kind of bizarre comparing a M3 with a ton of expensive mods to a stock 335 w/PROcede.

$10k in mods vs $1.3k in mods.

I think $10k in a civic can beat both with no problems.

Congrats to Nik and Shiv, both make great products for enthusiasts and are class acts as well!!!

VFE M3 FTW! at least for now, turbo upgrade on the 335I is going to be the real deal no doubt. But it's going to be pricey, I'm guessing at least 9K+.

Why? Because the M3 is loud and have a rough ride...and everything is more direct? Though all might be true, this particular example has A LOT of mods, ie. Coilovers, brakes, etc.

The difference in torque btw. the two is over a 100 lbft...Vishnu's 335's "bowel squeezing" power delivery...now that's a characteristic of an alpha male. :rocks:
