If it's anything like the new 330i TT or the C6 Z06 I would expect no less than a 20-40hp mistake in the ratings(which is what I'm hoping for anyway). Let's also not forget that by the looks of this 'beauty' she's going to weigh a ton....well 2+ tons for that matter so her 450bhp rating won't be all that exciting in a car pushing close to 4500lbs with driver. I also would like to see what these cars can do once people get them out on the road and free up the exhaust and turn the dial up another few PSI.

C6 Z06 killer this car ain't, but I'm sure with a few cheap mods it'll be a nice comfy low 12 second car. That will cost you almost the price of an equally nice high 10 second Z06.
Err, gonna have to disagree with ya there. First, because I don't care what you do to this thing. If it retains that look it'll never be equally as nice as a Z06. Also, beacuse 70k + mods would be more than a Z06. But I don't want to get hung up on one car because I don't want to turn this into a 'car vs. car' debate. I just think its overpriced for what it delivers.
