Did you not read my first post on page 2?
It seems like you are the one who has a bunch of holes in your posts and one that is dumb enough to believe BMW's 0-60 times on the 335. If you actually took the time to research rather than grab the numbers from BMW's website, you would come to realize that BMW is known to underrate their times and their engine output. Why? Because they don't want to take sales away from the M3.
Go drive a 335 instead of believing everything BMW says. There are tons of cars out there that come underrated from factory (B8 S4 comes straight to mind). If you do some research (read e90post.com, motortrend/caranddriver/edmunds/etc, or even googling "BMW 335 underrated") you'll easily find out that a stock 335 is underrated and should be around 350hp and can easily do 4.7-4.9 sec from 0-60. And no, I'm not going to find the articles for you, go look yourself it shouldn't take long.
msm00b = fail
I'll take the time to address the ones you decided to address, but I'll also take the time to address the other ones I labelled as false.
335i
Nominal output hp/rpm 300/5800 <----FALSE
Max. torque lb-ft/rpm 300/1200-5000 <----FALSE
Acceleration 0-60 mph (5.5) sec <----FALSE
Those numbers come directly off BMWs website
A stage 2 GTI will have more torque than the 335 <----FALSE.
Stage 2 GTI has 314lbs torque. You're welcome to reference the above specs per the manufacturers.
Why would you take the numbers off BMW's website when I've already stated that they underrate their specs. It's the same reason why we know that the GTI doesn't do 7.1 sec (manual) and 6.9 sec (dsg) which is also VW's own numbers.
If you don't believe me and you are clearly too lazy to go and read up since you're afraid of finding out that you're wrong, then click these few links and do a quick skim.
Autoblog report on B8 S4 being underrated which also takes note of the 335 being underrated. Do a quick skim to the mid section of the report.

Blog that has a baseline dyno of a stock 335 back in 2007
http://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-bmw-335is-power-is-underrated
Edmunds report back in
2006 which does a full dyno and analysis(man looking back at this initial report on the 335 tells me just how behind you are and how misinformed you are)
http://www.insideline.com/bmw/3-series/2007/full-test-2007-bmw-335i-coupe.html
If you don't believe those reports then you can click these two baseline dynos
My stage 1 will go faster than the stock beemer<----FALSE .
A stock beemer is limited to 130/150. A stage one GTI is not limited by anything other than the engine, and you can push it upwards of 160. It will "go faster". Stage one will not "get there" faster.
I see. I misunderstood you the first time and thought you'd "get there" faster.
From a rolling/road start, a stage 2 GTI will not only go faster, it will also accelerate faster<----FALSE.
Once you take launch and traction out of the picture, sure it will.
Sigh. Just no. You are only theorycrafting this since you don't have first hand experience coupled with the fact that you are convincing yourself that the 335 does 0-60 in 5.3/5.5 seconds. Hopefully you actually took the time to read above and realize that you were wrong and BMW has underrated it's HP/TQ output and 0-60 times.
Umm, comparing a stage 2 GTI to the stock 135i, the beemer has a 20hp advantage <----FALSE and RWD.
Pardon me, a 24hp advantage. 276 vs 300.
The GTI has 200-500lb advantage and 15lbs of torque <----FALSE.
Pardon me, 14lbs torque. 300 vs 314.
Sorry, wrong again.
335 actually puts down closer to 350hp, so, pardon me, it's a 74hp advantage.
Again, wrong. The 335 will actually be the one with the advantage - 350 vs 314. 36lbs torque advantage.
So let's see - 74hp + 36lbs tq advantage.
If you're talking manual instead of their automatic transmission, you also have to take a hefty chunk off the 0-60 times <----FALSE
Time and time again it's been shown that the computer and duel clutch transmission is faster. DSG vs stickshift anyone?
Again, if you did any research other than browsing the BMW website, you'd understand that the difference is not hefty(.1 sec difference).
It's "DUAL" as in two, not "DUEL" as in a fight. Why are you bringing up this point? You aren't comparing a GTI Manual to GTI DSG here buddy. You can also get the DCT (dual clutch transmission) in the 135i and 335is these days or have had it since late 2008 in EU.
For the other false statements I called you out on, which you decided to leave out. I'll address these to prove a point and make it clear that you need to do more research on any subject before you start preaching your "facts."
but it'll ultimately be a drivers race <----FALSE.
So wrong the first time around, even moreso now that I've posted correct info for you to theorycraft.
Point is, it shouldn't have been an easy win. Period. <----FALSE
lol... Yes, it should be.
First of all, the beemers do not run a 4.7 stock <----FALSE
Yup, they do. You're wrong. Again.
Show me a non-AWD car that weighs 3500+ lbs and can pull a 4.7 0-60 on a measly 300hp <----FALSE
