so i have been looking to get a 335 or 135, test drove one the other day, all stock and it just didn't feel that quick. i was wondering if anyone who has has a tuned or fbo one would be willing to take me for a spin. i am out in suffolk county down by hecksher state park in east islip. currently have a 2007 passat fbo that i've had since new and i think its time to upgrade. thinking of sedona red 135 msport or crimson 335.

Not many people are gonna just let a random dude drive there car...

i dont want to drive, just take a ride. i wouldn't let anyone drive my car either.

in the meantime watch some youtube videos, you will see FBOs and even n54s/n55s with just a tune killing some otherwise "fast" cars...

I don't have full bolt on or else I'd help you out... I'm in Suffolk... running the following:
VRSF 7" Intercooler
BMS DCI
KW V2 Coilovers
M3 Front Control Arms
OpenFlashTablet (sold)

This car runs awesome with a tune, I'll be putting a Cobb or OFT back in the spring since I don't drive much during the winter.

There is nothing to think about, the passat is slow as sh*t compared to a 335. Isn't the Passat FWD? Any 335 with a tune will be quicker than the vw you drive now IMO.

if my car wasnt misfiring i would scare the sh*t out of u

A stock 335 and One with just a JB4 tune is a night and day difference....

i heard there is more wear and tear after you go with tunes and fbo?

OP -- PM me, I have an FBO car (COBB PROtune by Bren, aFe DCI, Helix FMIC, Akra DPs, ER CP, Forge DVs) and will be in Long Island/Glen Cove-area for a bday party that night. If you wanna meet up somewhere & it's nice out, sure I can leave a little earlier and take you for a few pulls.

Obviously you'll be running the car outside of it's OEM design/setup, but as long as the car is regular maintained & on a solid tune (safe AFR, timing, boost) the car is more than capable of handling the increased performance setting.

i test drove a black 2011 135 non m sport from habberstad in bay shore, 6 speed, maybe it was just too smooth, i have a stage 2+ fbo 2.0t in my passat that i would guess is around 270 crank hp 290 tq, and only weighs 3200 or 3300 lbs maybe im just used to the boost spike. that and i have never owned a rwd car before, tracked mine at lime rock a few times. just want to be sure im making the right move.

stock 335 is quick, but probably not mind blowing. Though, stock still might give your passat a run for its money.

find someone with a n54 FBO. if they have a jb4, it would be easy to show you stock vs tune modes.

I have an '09 BSM 335 coupe available for sale. Listed in the tri-state regional forum "FS: 2009 Black Sapphire Metallic..."

Running Active Auotwerke (AA) Stage II tune, AA down pipes, AA exhaust, 7" intercooler, etc. and she is a beast. Let me know if you're interested in coming to CT to test drive and take this baby home.
