given the 335 driver wasnt launching it's best potential, he still started catching up nearing end of 3rd gear! amazing little car.

It was not a fair race. 545 has a manual tranny. I would like to auto vs. auto or manual vs. manual.

I would rather see the fastest of each kind--Step 545i vs whatever for the 335i. Actually, I am not even sure what trannys are available for the 335i. Anyone know?

Aw man, the new guy one upped the Socal Launch crew. He's got his runs video taped! All right, the next Launch Meet will have to be video taped and uploaded to YouTube. 
I'm glad that a 545 finally had the chance to go up against the 335 and pleasantly surprised how well the 545 fared.
