Have you considered the 2005-2006 GTO? 400 hp LS2 engine. I had a Cyclone Gray '05 but sold it when my son came along. I miss that car... You could get a nicely used one for under 20K. NICE leather seating, Blaupunkt stereo system.

Same as the latest generation 335. The 335 motor changed in 2011 from the previous twin turbo to a single twin scroll turbo that is supposed to be a little more efficient. What disappointed me about the 435i is the power is basically unchanged since 2007.

They're calling the 11' 322whp - weird - so how is the single turbo rating higher in wheel horse versus the twin turbo? Ughh....

I think both engines were right around 300 hp. The 2011 switched from a twin turbo to what they called a twin scroll single turbo. The results were pretty much the same with the newer motor having a slightly better power curve and MPG.
