Help me out here, I need a Z4 that can hold a candle to this beast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE9oDx-ItO4 :thumbsdown:

The fastest I've found is the E89 Z4 GT3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5LKMDVwCpg, but this is only around 550bhp.

Anyone taken a Z4 beyond this :evil: :poke:

Why would any one wan't to take a Z4 to 1300bhp. It wouldn't be a Z4 at that point. :wink:

Buy a new Bugatti Chiron (Ferengi) and tune that. I'm sure it could destroy a 1300bhp R35, if you threw enough Money at it. :lol: :poke:

Have fun any ways. :driving:

The GTR engine would have had just about everything changed in the engine to achieve over double the power it was originally designed for.

Just awesome.

I'll be happy to get my Z4 towards 400bhp with a remap and easier breathing.

I do however have a Jap car loving friend who's trading in his old Skyline for a used Nissan GTR... it's a piddling contest so I was hoping some loon had gone proper extreme with a Z4...
