I like those figures. I'm very interested in getting a procede v2 next year after more testing has been done. I don't want to put something in my car that's going to destroy the lifetime of the engine or turbos.


I'm not so much worried about paying for gas as much as I am about having to physically go to the darn station to fill up the beast all the time. I don't want to have a car that I have to go and fill up every day after a trip to work in LA from Long Beach. Although, fuel economy is always a concern with the raising prices. Compared to a 460HP Procede V2 probably getting a good high 20's on highway compared to a 500HP V10 getting in the mid teens, there's a big difference. Not to mention the 335i procede V2 wil destroy any of the new M cars in speed. Though, it will never be as sexy as the M car, nor will it have that feeling to it like the M cars.
