ok so let's put these cars on the track...who wins and why?
335 probably. It has the 535 engine on a much lighter body. The I6 TT is incredibly potent and I think the bulky V8 may become a factor, despite it being a straightaway, almost. That's just me. It mostly depends on the driver.

Agree, it will depend on the driver.

Grogan has the best times published, not sure if the 335 driver is as good. On a longer track I'm also not sure of the top speed of the V8 and the TT6 but the limiter will kick in.
ps. a chipped 335 should easily beat a stock 545, even a modded one.
